Stop the presses: Phil Parker is one of the best coordinators in college football.
The Iowa defense started the season slowly, and forced only three turnovers in the first five games of the season.
Head Coach Kirk Ferentz was adamant that everyone had been performing well in practice, and if they stayed the course, the turnovers would come.
After their crushing 20-15 defeat against Indiana, the Hawkeyes' defense has been nearly unbeatable, forcing nearly three turnovers per game in the three games that followed.
A big reason why the Hawkeyes defense has been successful this year is that the unit has stayed mistly healthy, and as long as Parker is in charge, everyone knows how tough the defense will be.
