The Paulsens.

I will humbly start this thread by eating a little crow. I have bagged on the brothers expecting more PT out of the boys and think they have under produced. One thing I need to give them credit for however is the teammates they appear to be. This team has a different feel and attitude it seems and damn is it fun to watch. Something I noticed during MN was whenever one of our guys would go onto the sideline a Paulsen would be there slapping them in the head or helping them up and they damn near sprint to do it. Yesterday( IND) they probably ran 300 yards on the sideline alone just to support teammates. That's a great teammate and cannot be undersold. Great day to be a hawk and good on ya boys, keep working.

I met those big boys once. Very likable, great personalities. I thought for sure Levi would be a starter this year.

Well said, OP. Those kids have played well when given the opportunity, and there's no doubt they love being Hawkeyes. And we love having young men like that represent Iowa.

I thought the same thing watching the game. To be a great team you must have capable backups that are knowledgeable, capable, and above all teammates first. They appear to be all of those things.

Landan had a huge block on that fake FG against Minny.
I feel Levi deserves more time as well but Dalton Ferguson has done a great job and doesn't make mistakes.
Seems like Banwart is still young and a little light yet.
At any rate the Paulsens are great teammates on the field and in the locker room/ weight room....
