After seeing 11 Hawkeyes earn All-Big Ten honors on defense and special teams on Tuesday, there was some trepidation among Iowa fans as to whether the Hawkeyes would have anyone other than center Tyler Linderbaum earn similar honors of the offensive side of the ball. Iowa has had their struggles on offense this season and those struggles have certainly been pointed out by fans and media alike.
But on Wednesday, the Hawkeyes earned a smidge more respect from the Big Ten coaches and media when it came time to name the All-Big Ten teams. Iowa had five players recognized.
