Position of strength: Iowa Hawkeyes
LeShun Daniels had some big moments in 2015 and seems capable of handling a heavy workload as Iowa's starting running back in 2016.Every team has flaws. Last week on the Big Ten blog, we identified a position group within every Big Ten program in need of help in 2016. Amid the doldrums of winter, it’s time for a little positivity, so we’re examining the strongest areas on every team this week. Next up is Iowa.
Position of strength: Running backs
2015 production: Without a 1,000-yard back, Iowa rushed for 181.7 yards per game last season, ranking fifth in the Big Ten. Don’t let the lack of eye-popping numbers deceive you, though; Iowa was a productive rushing team.
