After three games this season, the Iowa defense is the only unit in a BCS conference yet to allow a single touchdown, giving up a scant 18 points on six field goals.

DI: You're approaching 2,000 all-purpose yards in your career this week. Needing only 22 more yards to reach the benchmark, what would that accomplishment mean to you?

It was always Wally Hilgenberg's dream to play for the Iowa Hawkeyes.
His older brother, Jerry, was a center at Iowa and the first player ever recruited by former coach Forest Evashevski. Growing up in the small Iowa town of Wilton Junction, Hilgenberg always wanted to be like his sibling.
