Mamma, there goes that man!
Iowa return specialist Kaden Wetjen continues to be a human highlight reel when he returns kickoffs and punts for the special teams.
The reigning Jet Award winner is well on his way to winning the award for the second straight season after another stellar performance in Iowa's win over Rutgers last Friday.
Wetjen was named the Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week following a second-straight dynamic performance for the Iowa special teams.
Against Rutgers, Wetjen accumulated 167 total return yards and returned the opening kickoff for over 100 yards for a touchdown as he got the scoring going early for the Hawkeyes.
Through four games this season, Wetjen leads the nation in combined return yards (448 - 213 kick, 235 punt), kickoff return touchdowns (one), and punt return average (33.6 yards).
Wetjen also leads the Big Ten Conference in punt return touchdowns with one.
No one can deny that Wetjen is a problem for teams in the return game, and Indiana Head Coach Curt Cignetti acknowledged that they will need to prepare diligently for Wetjen before this weekend's game.

When he was asked about stopping Wetjen, Cignetti acknowledged that he is a great returner, and Iowa always does a great job in the return game.
Cignetti also said they need to do a "great job there," and be prepared. They also must give great effort and tackle in space if they hope to slow Wetjen down.
He also said they will need to "defeat blocks," because the Iowa special teams until does a great job blocking for Wetjen and the other returners.
If Wetjen can have another dynamic performance in the return game, Iowa has a good chance to knock off No. 11 Indiana at home.
