With Tyler Goodson getting ready for the NFL Daft a pair of redshirt freshmen have stepped in at running back at Iowa. Gavin Williams and LeShon Williams combined for 140 yards in a Citrus Bowl loss to Kentucky after Goodson opted out. Gavin led the way with 98 yards.

Williams says spring is a time to focus on individual improvement.

Williams says with a lack of depth this spring at running back he has LeShon are getting plenty of work.

Sophomore receiver Arlan Bruce says Gavin and LeShon displayed their potential in the bowl game.

Bruce says after gaining some experience last season a young group of receivers should make progress.
