Throw out all the preseason accolades and the overall success of the Iowa offensive line. Center Logan Jones is having the most fun he's ever had.
The Iowa offense had high expectations in year two under offensive coordinator Tim Lester, and although they have not leaped as high as most people thought they would, the overall numbers have improved.
Although being ranked No. 130 in passing offense (133.6 yards per game) and No. 116 in total offense (310.2 yards per game) may not stand out, they have vastly improved since the days of Brian Ferentz.
The Hawkeyes also continue to run the ball effectively, ranking No. 44 overall in rushing yards per game (176.6).
The biggest reason the Hawkeyes can run the ball so effectively is the stellar play by the big men up front on the offensive line.
The offensive line, anchored by Logan Jones in the center, is a semifinalist for the Joe Moore Award once again, and Jones is cherishing every moment he has had with the group and the team.
An emotional Logan Jones reacts to Iowa's loss, he says he's cherishing every moment he has with his team.
