IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa’s reputation as a running team has been hampered by the fact that the Hawkeyes haven’t run the ball particularly well in recent years. Iowa is hoping to get back to its roots in 2015 behind a senior holdover and a trio of intriguing but inexperienced backs.
Veteran Jordan Canzeri and seldom-used junior LeShun Daniels Jr. are atop the most recent depth chart for Iowa. The Hawkeyes will mark the midway point of spring practice with a workout in West Des Moines on Saturday.
