Big Ten special-teams snapshot - Big Ten - ESPN

Big Ten special-teams snapshot - Big Ten - ESPN: "SO-SO
Iowa -- Ryan Donahue has established himself as a solid Big Ten punter, and the Hawkeyes have two options at kicker in Daniel Murray, the hero of the Penn State victory, and Trent Mossbrucker. The big loss comes at punt returner, as Andy Brodell was one of the best around. Iowa also might need a primary kick returner if Jewel Hampton moves into a starting spot at running back."

Wow! I 100% disagree with Ritt on this one. Donahue will be the best punter in the Big Ten. Moss should improve a lot of over last season and Murray will push him to be more consistent. Both are viable options! We loss Brodell but we gained true freshman Wegher. Wegher has great speed and footwork where some have compared him to Tim Dwight in High School. Wegher will probably be returning punts and kick offs along with seeing some time at RB. Another option is DJK. Another option could be speedy track star WR Chaney now that he is out of the doghouse. I think our special teams will be a lot better than So-So!!!
