The shift in philosophy occurred sometime late last fall when Kirk Ferentz watched holes spring up in his special teams units nearly each Saturday only to go back to practice the following week and see players he felt were capable of filling them.
Until then, the Iowa coach was faced with a dilemma on how to handle his true freshmen. Ferentz often said at the beginning of recent seasons that the Hawkeyes were playing for the present. They would use rookies capable of making a difference today and worry about tomorrow when it arrived.
