Iowa’s blue collar work ethic is either why kids come to Iowa or run the other way. I don’t think many of Nebraska’s players would stick around for that type of physical work every day on the field and in the weight room. It takes a special kid with a chip on his shoulder to come to Iowa, roll up his shirt sleeves and get to work pounding the rock to see their full development as a two, three or four star athlete and possibly not see the field for a year or two.
Not bashing Nebraska, just think this used to be their style, now it is not in how they prep their players from day one to see the field. Oh, and good luck in your bowl game this Friday, Frost should sell it to the players that way as the Pinstripe Bowl vs Rutgers since I highly doubt Nebraska will get an invite at 2-6 or 3-5.
