Kaleb Johnson

Recall all the praise in Moulton's direction before game 1. Lester talked about him being able/willing to make certain plays work that they want to use. Was that an indirect way of say that KJ wasn't learning them? KJ was being sent a message last week. Hopefully he tightens up his game and approach.
 
Who is Adam Johnson? I wouldn’t bag on players when you don’t even know their name. It’s Adam Robinson from Lincoln that got hit late in a game vs MSU with Iowa up big, got concussed and was never the same after that.

Regarding KJ, he likes to play on and off the field. Needs to put his emphasis on the football field and not playing the field.
Dude is a college kid, I sure as hell hope he's getting some play off the field.

Robinson really did change mentally after that. Getting into some weird stuff from what I recall. Wasn't there some video or something he recorded?
 
The challenge has been he is often the anti Adam Robinson, who was a master of falling forward, finding, almost squeezing extra yards out of each run.

Kaleb has tended to be very feast or famine. Often he goes down on first contact. He has not played behind the best O lines to be fair, but he needs to squeeze more out of his carries IMO.

Leshon os more like Adam Robinson in that regard.
This. He has skills, but I haven't seen a thing yet that says one of Iowa's best yet. For his size he doesn't run hard, and he doesn't lower his pads before contact and runs too upright. L Williams got more carries last year 1) because he earned them with consistency, and 2) because KJ was dinged up alot and was often not available...
 
His TD run was definitely a broken tackle and then off to the races. Honestly I don’t mind if he goes down if it’s a Techno Bowl moment and the defense knows exactly, I mean exactly where Iowa is running the ball. A big guy like that will take a beating in pile up.
The line has not been encouraging inside the 5.
