Iowa safety Quinn Schulte says an experienced Iowa defense has high expectations for the upcoming season. The Cedar Rapids native is one of eight returning starters for a unit that finished fourth in the country in scoring defense during a 10-4 season.

The Hawkeyes will be in search of a third trip to the Big Ten championship game in four years but Schulte says the addition of four new teams will make the road even tougher.

Schulte says the success of the Iowa defense begins at the line of scrimmage.

Schulte says a key to success in college is a willingness to be coached hard and he learned that while playing for his father at Xavier High School.

Schulte made his comments at Big Ten Media Days in Indianapolis.
