Hawkeyes Defensive Hopes Rest on LB Corps

June 28th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa’s defensive line needs to be rebuilt, its secondary has holes to fill in key spots and all the defensive coaches have switched spots. Now’s as good a time as any for the Hawkeyes’ promising linebacking corps to step up and lead a defense that failed to meet lofty expectations in 2011. Much of Iowa’s hopes for a defensive turnaround this fall rest of the development of its linebackers. The Hawkeyes return a pair of starters in juniors James Morris and Christian Kirksey, who’ll be joined by fellow junior Anthony Hitchens in what should be the strength of a defense that slipped from seventh nationally in scoring defense in 2010 to 46th a year ago.

A Council Bluffs man who walked about a half-mile in triple-digit heat following an accident in Omaha Wednesday, may have died from heat-related complications. The Omaha-World Herald says according to a police report, 48-year old Paul E. Tamayo had a core body temperature of110-degrees when he was taken to an Omaha hospital and pronounced dead. The man was driving a car eastbound on Center Street in Omaha, when it went through a construction zone and collided with a large mound of dirt near 67th Street. Investigators say there was no evidence Tamayo had tried to brake before the impact.  The accident happened at around 3:45-p.m. Following the crash, Tamayo got out of his car and walked away before he collapsed just west of 2322 South 64th Ave, or about one-half mile away from the scene of the accident. An autopsy was scheduled to be performed today (Thursday), to determine the cause of death.

MIAMI (AP) — John Buck and pinch hitter Logan Morrison connected for consecutive home runs in the seventh inning, rallying the Miami Marlins past St. Louis 5-3 Wednesday night and ending their eight-game losing streak against the Cardinals. The Cardinals had won five in a row overall. Miami won for just the second time in 10 games. Tony Cruz’s first career homer in the top of the seventh put the Cardinals ahead 3-2. Buck tied it with one out when he homered off Fernando Salas. Morrison then sent a drive off Sam Freeman (0-1) that hit the top of the right-field fence, bounced off a nearby railing and dropped back into play. After being stopped at second base while the umpires reviewed the play, Morrison was allowed to finish his home-run trot.
