Keep an eye on number 9...

In the Stands Report by Bookemdano: Arizona (2-0) has 1,007 yards of total offense in two games, while the Iowa Hawkeyes (2-0) has 755 yards to their credit in wins over Northern Iowa and Iowa State. The Hawkeyes have won six straight, dating back to November of last year, while the Wildcats are currently on a four-game winning streak.

So, open up the corn fields...something has gotta give. If the Wildcats can amass 500 yards of total offense again this Saturday at Iowa City, chances are the Iowa fans will go into shock and the Arizona Wildcats could leave the confines of Kinnick Stadium with their helmets raised high in the air and return to Tucson with their third victory of the season.

But the Hawkeyes are not the Lumberjacks, or the Chippewas, and Matt Scott and Nick Foles better keep their eyes on number 9,Tyler Sash, a 6-foot-1, 210 pound defensive back, who is just 11 interceptions shy of an Iowa record. Sash is only a sophomore and he recorded three interceptions in the Buckeyes' win over Iowa State last week. Sash is chasing Nile Kinnick's record and has almost three seasons to get it done.

Kinnick, for goodness sake, was the Heisman Trophy winner in 1939 and the only Hawkeye to ever win the coveted prize. He's a legend in the Midwest. Hence, Iowa's football stadium is named after him.

Of course, we have our own defensive back in Trevin Wade, who has a nose for the ball and a habit of collecting interceptions. The sophomore cornerback picked off two last Saturday against NAU and now has six career interceptions. Sash has eight thefts. Let the game begin.
