"As seniors, it's our last go-round," he said. "This will [determine] how people in the state are going to remember us. We need to get back to our old form, get back to the hard-nosed, tough-'em-out type of team. At Iowa, we don't traditionally play that way."

Senior running back Albert Young is looking to help Iowa rebound from a somewhat disappointing season last year.
