Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
The Iowa Hawkeyes have a tortured backfield history. It's gotten so bad that Fake Kirk Ferentz recently eliminated the running back position altogether after losing two more backs. Now comes word that Rodney Coe, an enormous running back signee from the 2011 class, doesn't want to play for Iowa because he'd have to play defensive line. I mean, he does weigh 270 pounds, which would make him just about the biggest back in the country, so that probably shouldn't be a surprise.
Still, it's been fun watching him condescendingly accept advice from passers-by on Twitter this afternoon. A sampling:
@therealkevin_g yeah thanks buddy way to state the obvious
