A veteran linebacker corps will try to help the Iowa football program return to its winning ways this season. James Morris, Christian Kirksey and Anthony Hitchens all enter their senior season but Morris says as a group the linebackers don’t rank very highly, yet.

All three of the linebackers saw the field as true freshmen.

Morris believes the Hawkeyes will be an improved team this season and he hopes the won-loss record reflects it.

The Hawkeyes open the season August 31st against Northern Illinois.
