The Iowa football team has been putting together another great defensive showing this year (minus Jonathon Taylor gashing them in Madison), and that surprisingly includes their secondary.
The results that Phil Parker’s secondary has put together do not match what should actually have happened considering two of the Hawk’s original four starters in the secondary have missed time throughout the season, and both backup corners were/are injured as well. Additionally, starting corner Matt Hankins has been inconsistent (when not injured) to say the last resulting in him being benched multiples times this season.
Yet, here we are, nine games into the season and the secondary is allowing the 13th fewest yards per game and the 6th fewest yards per pass.
