Iowa's run defense covered Maryland better than Ohio State and Penn State.

4 Heads are Better Than 1
With leading rusher and scorer out, Hawkeyes use a 3-headed monster to slay Maryland

In Canzeri’s absence, the Hawkeyes displayed shifty (Wadley), ground-and-pound (Daniels), and good hands (Mitchell). Although there are no defined roles among the three, Mitchell says he fits in nicely on third down. On Iowa’s first series, quarterback C.J. Beathard connected with Mitchell on a screen pass that went for 19 yards on third-and-10. His touchdown also came on third down, and put Iowa ahead, 21-0.

Iowa is playing on the road, but another 21-0 start at Indiana seems par for the course, facing a defense that isn't as good, as Maryland?

Of course, holding the IU offense scoreless may be another issue on Saturday?

Iowa has a nice slate of games on the path through November. Nothing is a sure thing, but the stars may be aligning for Iowa in 2015?
