You can assume they will get their share next week too. Then comes Wisconsin, 1-2 sacks would be quite nice.

I wish I had the stats for 2002 ... as well as many other stats for this season... like player snaps.... but... regarding sacks...

in 2015 Iowa had 25 sacks in the 13 games against FBS teams..
they played one FCS team (Illinois State) and had 5 sacks that game... giving them a total of 30 sacks for the 2015 season.

in 2009 Iowa had a total of 31 sacks
in 2004 Iowa had a total of 31 sacks
in 2003 Iowa had a total of 34 sacks

the common denominator for these 4 seasons is that Iowa won 10+ games each of those seasons...

if 30 sacks is the determinating number to acquire 10+ wins...
Iowa only needs 21 sacks in the next 10-13 games...
which comes out to about 1.6 to 2.1 sacks a game going forward.

though I think Iowa is off to a good start... I don't think the sack numbers are yet enough to alarm future opponents and drastically alter game plans..
but I do like what I've seen so far.

This DL has the potential to be legendary.

Which we can chew on some more after the Wisconsin game. If they get pressure on Horny, and somewhat contain Taylor, then we'll really have something to talk about.......
