Iowa Hawkeyes win field position battles with strong special teams
Iowa's punting by Rhys Dakin, with five punts inside the opponent's 20 and no returnables, plus two interceptions by Jay Higgins and Quinn Schulte, underscored a field position edge. Drew Stevens' kickoffs have longer hang time, yet more returns. Iowa has led field position in all four games this season, reinforcing coach Woods' emphasis on special teams.
