Nathan Stanley sure looks like the Hawkeyes quarterback

IOWA CITY — It wasn't totally indicative of the afternoon, but if your offensive linemen are ever going to end up doing burpees because of their performance, you want it to be in August when it doesn't count.

After the final play of Saturday's scrimmage before a few thousand fans at Kinnick Stadium, Iowa offensive linemen gathered around coach Tim Polasek. Five minutes or so of chatting soon broke into the majority of the group doing burpees.

What did the offensive line do to deserve the burpee treatment? Well, it might not have been the 12 sacks. Sacks are subjective in a scrimmage situation. It might've been the seven false starts.

'I can give you an exact number if you want me to pull it out,' head coach Kirk Ferentz said of the false starts. 'It was seven or eight. It's probably pretty similar to last year at this time. Self-inflicted wounds, that's the race we're running right now.'
