The Iowa football team closes out spring drills this (Saturday) afternoon, with an open practice in Kinnick Stadium. The final practice will feature the offense versus the defense, with a unique scoring system that is similar to what has been used the past two seasons, allowing both the offense and defense to score points based on performance. Iowa offensive coordinator Greg Davis would like to see a turnover free effort from his unit but he is not concerned with style points.

Davis says they are more concerned about seeing certain players in certain situations. He says there’s things they’d like to get on tape that maybe don’t always fit the best thing if a team were playing Iowa in a ball game, but they need to see those things.

Iowa defensive coordinator Phil Parker says he has been more concerned about individual improvement this spring than the depth chart. The gates at Kinnick Stadium open at noon. An autograph session with members of the Hawkeye football team will begin at 12:35 p.m. in front of the west and south stands.
