Video Sessions Part 2

Video 1 - Iowa TE Ray Hamilton talks about senior day. His four years have flown by. There are always a couple of players - whoosh - where did that go? Hamilton has been a good guy to deal with. Emotional, no-nonsense, seems to have had fun and enjoyed his run. He calls you guys here the best fans in the country, so show him some love on Saturday. He also said it's up to the players to get the Kinnick going.

Video 2 - Strong safety John Lowdermilk said it was time to get to the Nebraska game and there's no time for crying about Wisconsin. He said if we catch a picture of his dad, Kirk, crying on senior day to take a picture, because it will be pretty funny.

Players noticed you guys last week. The 'L” they weren't happy with, you guys they were. There is still an element of 'defend Kinnick” in these guys.

Video 3 - One of the things that DE Drew Ott likes to eat on Thanksgiving is fried ham. Throw it in a skillet and eat it. I advise him to stay in shape, because that stuff will catch up to you.

Punishing the ballcarrier is again the directive this week. Iowa did that with Melvin Gordon. It's the same thing for Nebraska.

Video 4 (below) - DT Carl Davis said the Hawkeyes have faced a veritable death row of running backs and expects the same thing this week from Ameer Abdullah.

'Hit them as hard as you can and try to make them cough it up.”

Davis said the energy from Kinnick is what kept him going last week. You don't get tired when the crowd is into it like that.

Of course, this team wants to send out seniors on a big home win.
