Not totally surprised given the injuries on OL, however as stated the loss of LeShun is probably bigger than we thought. Here's the breakdown. Very surprised Wadley's longest run of season (rush) is 35 yards, wow. Long run last year 75 vs. Purdue I believe, long of 65 in '15, was that vs. jNW?

2017 - 189 carries for 784 yards 4.1 avg. Long of 35 Receiving...24 for 310, 12.9 avg, Long 70, 3 tds
2016 168 carries for 1081 yards 6.4 avg. Long of 75. Receiving 36 for 315, 8.8 avg. Long 30, 3 tds
2015 83 for 496, 6.0 avg. Long 65. Receiving 6 for 94, 15.7, average, Long 31 1 TD
2014 33 for 186, 5.6 avg. Long 26

Akrum needs 431 yards over his final 3 games to move past Tavian Banks for 4th place on Iowa's career rushing list. Albert Young is next at about 3,100 yards.
 
On Saturday it was obvious something has changed, the two backs were rotating plays not series. I don't think it is a stretch to think he is nursing an injury of some sort that is limiting his ability to be elusive.
