Iowa’s Backfield Battle Heats Up | Iowa Hawkeyes Football News

Iowa’s rushing future is heating up with a showdown between veteran workhorse Kamari Moulton and explosive FCS transfer L.J. Phillips Jr., who brings 1,921 yards and 19 touchdowns from his previous level. Fans are evenly split—48% for each—betting on which back will dominate the stat sheet, while coaches hope to replicate the 2016 magic when Akrum Wadley and LeShun Daniels Jr. combined for over 2,000 yards. Phillips’ gritty comeback from a torn ACL and Moulton’s consistent, if unspectacular, Big Ten play make this one of the most exciting backfield battles in college football. The real win? Keeping Iowa’s rushing attack lethal, no matter who leads the charge. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
