Arizona Game Recap

DL- Domination, that is the word that describes the performance of the defensive line last weekend. The individual stats won't jump off of the paper at you, but as a unit, they do what they have to do. They only got two sacks, but the number of QB pressures and QB hits also takes its toll. Adrian Clayborn had a great game tallying 6 tackles and a sack, with two great tackles where he ran down the back from the backside. Overall grade: A

LB- There is nothing bad to say about the linebacker corps of Iowa. They know their assignments and execute them almost flawlessly. Jerimiah Hunter made a huge play on a fake field goal in the 3rd quarter. The unit as a whole could still button up their tackling. Overall grade: B+

DB- The best DB's in the Ferentz era? I think that they could be. I would be willing to say that Prater and Spievey are the best CB duo for sure. They are good enough that you Norm could have the ability to put both of them on an island and still have the two deep zone. Tyler Sash is just a ball hawk, seems to play the cover two zone to a T. He has 7 INT's in his last five games and just missed his second multi-interception game in as many weeks. Overall grade: A

Defensive Notes-
Iowa gave up three big running plays, 75, 39, & 34 outside of those plays they had 22 rushes for 50 yards

ST- Murray will be the kicker for the rest of the season barring injury. He looks good and is getting good height on his kickoffs and allowing his coverage time to get down field. Donahue is a stud, averaging 51 yards per punt in the game with two getting downed inside the 20.
