B1G mailbag: New West Division favorite? Curtis Samuel 1k/1k?
It's time for another Big Ten mailbag. As always, you can tweet me your questions or email longer ones to ESPNBigTenMailbag@gmail.com.
What ya got?
@BennettESPN now that Iowas WR Corp took a huge hit, are they really a favorite in the West?
Brian Bennett: The loss of Matt VandeBerg to a foot injury is a big hit. He has been the team's leading receiver since the start of last season and is the go-to guy for C.J. Beathard. Without him, the Hawkeyes are going to have to find other ways to move the ball, which they haven't had much success doing since halftime of the North Dakota State game. They simply have to get the running game going.
