Video Sessions Part 5

Video 1 - Iowa QB Jake Rudock loves going into hostile environments on the road. He kind of digs the villain role that way.

There's a moment after the TV cameras left. It took a second for his eyes to adjust. I totally get that. This is a completely unnatural process, right down to the lighting.

Video 2 - Senior WR Kevonte Martin-Manley talks about the receptions milestone that he's closing in on. He's not marking down each reception, but it is something that he would love to leave Iowa City with.

I asked about WR blocking. KMM has always been comfortable with that. He's solidly built and loves blocking.

The WRs-DBs do drill each other on blocking. KMM said the WRs win. Of course he said that.

Video 3 - Iowa DE Drew Ott wasn't on the field when IU's Tevin Coleman broke his big runs.

I think teams aren't running his way. He said he has no idea.

Was it a wakeup call for the defense? A little bit, he said.

HawkeyeReport.com's Tom Kakert was great today, BTW. I asked Kirk Ferentz about Ott. He mentioned when he visited, it was the first time he played DE.

'I think I got knocked back a few yards. It didn't work out too well for me.”
