IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Iowa has received subpar production from experienced running backs for much of the season. Now an unknown freshman is providing a spark for the Hawkeyes. Akrum Wadley turned the first 15 carries of his college career into 106 yards and a touchdown in Saturday’s 48-7 victory over Northwestern. It was the first 100-yard rushing game for an Iowa player this season.

With Jordan Canzeri questionable for this weekend’s game at Minnesota and LeShun Daniels Jr. out for at least the rest of the regular season, Wadley is listed as a starter alongside Mark Weisman.
