Iowa Football: Ron Coluzzi Named Special Teams Player of the Week

Ron Coluzzi had a phenomenal showing for the Iowa Hawkeyes during their 14-7 victory over Rutgers on Saturday. Coluzzi punted seven times in the Hawkeyes win, and downed four inside the 20. Coluzzi’s most impressive punt came after the Hawkeyes first drive when he booted a 55-yard punt down to Rutgers 11 yard line.

More impressively, Coluzzi also kept every punt in the first half away from star returner Janarion Grant. His ability to pin the Scarlet Knights back and not allow Grant to return any punts gave Iowa a huge advantage in a game where field position proved to be extremely important.
