The Hawkeyes have found a solution to their punter problem for next season
Massachutes v Iowa | Matthew Holst/GettyImagesThe Iowa Football suffered a massive blow after long-time special teams coordinator LeVar Woods bolted for Michigan State, and took starting punter Rhys Dakin with him.
The Iowa special teams unit was a weapon for the program, and Woods and Dakin are people who cannot be easily replaced.
The program took its first step in the right direction after internally promoting Chris Polizzi from defensive analyst to special teams coordinator, and now the program has found its new starting punter.
