IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Many teams deal with injuries. Few teams deal with them like Iowa in 2015.
The Hawkeyes, unbeaten and ranked No. 9 in the initial College Football Playoff rankings, have faced major problems this season on the offensive line and at running back.
They lost a top wide receiver, Tevaun Smith, for two weeks at the start of the Big Ten season and their best defensive linemen, co-captain and emotional leader Drew Ott, for the remainder of the season in Week 6.
And somehow, Iowa is stronger from it all.
