We do still keep everything in front on the edges of the field and our CBs have been burned over the top despite this approach. They are talented, but very young. Iowa will not play a CB who doesn't provide good run support, that is true.

Our CBs are actually pretty athletic. This isn't 2002. They're young, deep, tall and can tackle. As for the RBs, they're all sophomores and our QB is a pro-style 6-5 240# type, so yea, he's not a huge threat to take off and run but I think WR is the only position we've had issues at.
