Vander Zee Aims to Turn Tide | Iowa Hawkeyes Football News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Reece Vander Zee is ready to turn the tide in the Cy-Hawk rivalry after two tough losses to Iowa State — one with just 10 yards and another sidelined by injury.

The Big Ten’s running game is heating up early, with six backs smashing 100 yards in Week 1—led by Iowa’s Kamari Moulton’s 183-yard explosion and Nebraska’s freshman Jamal Rule’s 122 yards.
