T=tied at this ranking
Nothing overwhelming, right? Fourth in turnover margin is a pretty good key to winning, though.
79th in total offense doesn't open any eyes, but 22nd in total defense and 16th in scoring defense are pretty good anchors, and don't underestimate being 15th in net punting.
The Hawkeyes' only individual leader in the Big Ten is Tyler Sash in interceptions with five.
No one in the nation has more than Sash's five INTs, but players from UCLA, Clemson, Texas and Utah have five picks in six games, while Sash has played seven. So he's fifth in the NCAA rankings.
Sash has gone two games without a pick. Somebody better wake him up. Based on the success Wisconsin had throwing Amari Spievey's way (two picks), maybe Sash's number will come up again soon.
