CHICAGO -- In the quiet moments this offseason when linebacker Josey Jewell's body ached from overexertion, when he felt like shutting down, he did not picture the magical joyride that represented most of Iowa's 2015 season.
Instead, he went to the dark place that offered a fuel reserve. It had nothing to do with the Hawkeyes' 12-0 start and everything to do with their 0-2 finish on the biggest setting of their college football lives.
"Whenever you get tired at a workout, you’re thinking about it," Jewell said this week at Big Ten media days.
