In Celebration of ***12 days*** until Iowa Football......
- Thread starter EvilMonkeyInTheCloset
- Start date
Before Chuck Long, another legendary Hawkeye wore #16 - Paul Krause - who went on to greater success in the NFL. Krause played DB, WR, and RB on the football team and was also an All-American baseball player. He moved on to the NFL in 1964, first to Washington and then to Minnesota, where he played on all four Vikings Super Bowl teams. Krause holds the NFL career record for interceptions (81) - topping another former Hawkeye, Emlen Tunnell (79) - and is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The good ol' days of linemen that moved people and running backs that could move them if they were not moved!
For 15 - we have Tyler Goodsen!
At the time, I didn't understand why he didn't come back for his senior year. I thought he would go higher in the draft with a better senior season. After seeing our offense that year, I think he made the right choice to go pro when he did. If he had a better O Line in his upperclassmen years, I think he would be someone we compare to Shonn Greene.
Iowa camp show is tonight on the BTN and I predict lots of Kirkisms. Dinardo will be making googly eyes at Kirk.
You could see after awhile some of the defenders just did not...want to hit him any more.
Duke Slater belongs in here somewhere. I've seen pages claiming he wore 14, 15, and 16. Most pictures of him in uniform don't show a number, but at least one shows 16.
I remember Paul very well. Crazy athletic ability. One of the best ever for the Hawkeyes.Before Chuck Long, another legendary Hawkeye wore #16 - Paul Krause - who went on to greater success in the NFL.

#13 is for Ramon "The Razor" Ochoa, one of KF's first recruits. Ochoa was the proverbial "next man in" as a senior in 2003 at both WR and PR. He scored two receiving TDs in his first career start against Arizona State and still holds the Iowa season records for most punt returns (40) and most punt return yardage (495). I've seen one web site claim Ochoa played the 2003 season with a stress fracture in his leg.
