Iowa Head Coach Kirk Ferentz views all five of his defensive backs as starters, but last weekend, they decided to bench veteran Deshaun Lee.
Lee has been much maligned over the past few seasons, but has put in the work to become one of Iowa's top defensive backs.
After getting benched, he could have hung his head or had a negative attitude, but Ferentz stated he is one of the most positive players on the team and kept working hard.
Lee showed up big time on Saturday in the 25-24 win against Penn State as he came up with a diving interception in the second quarter, and broke up a pass on Penn State's final drive to help seal the victory.
