Tyler Linderbaum's approach to the NFL Draft isn't much different from his approach at Iowa. "The biggest thing for me is being myself," Linderbaum said Thursday at the NFL Combine. "I'm not trying to change who I am once I get here. I'm here for a reason, and that's just because I've been being myself." Even after suffering a mid-foot sprain that will keep him out of the combine drills, he wouldn't change his decision to play in the Citrus Bowl. "I'd play in that game if I could," Linderbaum said. "Hopefully go out and win." Linderbaum had the same even-keel demeanor in his media availability as he had throughout the season. He's doing the work in the same place he's been for four years. While many draft prospects spend their pre-draft months with trainers in places like Texas or Florida, Linderbaum has been preparing at Iowa's football facility. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," Linderbaum said. Linderbaum said strength and conditioning coach Raimond Braithwaite has "a lot of great knowledge," and Braithwaite's staff has not made any significant changes from what he was already doing. - The Gazette

03/04/22 - Tyler Linderbaum, rJr/2022, Iowa, 6-2, 302 (DS#1 C) + More +

Linderbaum is widely considered the top center in this year's draft class. While relatively small at 6-foot-3 and 290 pounds, his lateral quickness and technique have helped his draft stock. He won't be worrying too much about whether he'll be a top-10 pick. "I'll let all the coaches and GMs and all those guys decide if they think I'm a top-10 player in the draft," Linderbaum said. Linderbaum also doesn't have to worry about it too much when NFL general managers think as highly as they do of the former Solon prep. Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta described Linderbaum as the "type of guy that could really be the centerpiece of your offensive line" and compared him to Yanda. "When we look at a guy like Tyler Linderbaum, we see a lot of the same qualities," DeCosta said Wednesday. "Tough. Gritty. Very, very athletic. Very, very intelligent. Smart." Linderbaum already has met formally with several NFL teams, including the Packers, Giants, Jets, Dolphins, Bears and Bengals. - The Gazette

Iowa running back Tyler Goodson announced Friday he will declare for the 2022 NFL draft and won't play in the Citrus Bowl against Kentucky on Jan. 1. "Similar to a lot of young kids growing up, I have always dreamed of the opportunity to play in the National Football League and I am beyond grateful that the time is quickly approaching," Goodson tweeted. "I will forever consider myself a Hawkeye and look forward to making my family, friends and Hawkeye Nation proud at the next level." Goodson has led Iowa in rushing the past three seasons. He ran for 1,151 yards and six touchdowns in 2021 and 2,551 yards and 18 touchdowns in his career. "Tyler has been a valuable member of our program throughout his career, and we wish him nothing but success as he pursues his next phase in life and football," coach Kirk Ferentz said. "Tyler enjoys the game of football. His passion and energy are evident on a daily basis, and we are appreciative of his many contributions to our program. It has been a pleasure having Tyler and his family as part of our program." - AP College Football

Spencer Petras plunged 2 yards for a touchdown with 2:58 left to give 17th-ranked Iowa its first lead, and the Hawkeyes came back from a 15-point deficit in the third quarter to beat Nebraska 28-21 on Friday. Iowa won the border battle for the seventh straight year, but not before Jermari Harris intercepted Logan Smothers' pass at the Iowa 2 with 43 seconds to play. The Hawkeyes (10-2, 7-2) stayed alive in the Big Ten West race and now need Minnesota to beat Wisconsin on Saturday to go to the conference championship game next week in Indianapolis.

The loss was another gut punch to Nebraska (3-9, 1-8) in its worst season since 1957. The Cornhuskers, who won't go to a bowl for a fifth straight year, finished with losses in six straight games and eight of nine. Their nine losses were by a total of 56 points. Tyler Goodson ran for 156 yards on 23 carries to become Iowa's first 1,000-yard rusher since Akrum Wadley in 2017. Smothers, making his first start in place of the injured Adrian Martinez, threw for 199 yards and ran 24 times for 64 yards and two touchdowns. Iowa used a blocked punt returned for a touchdown, two field goals and a safety to wipe out a 21-6 deficit and tie it 21-21 with 7:21 left. - Iowa/AP College Football

Charlie Jones had a 100-yard kickoff return for No. 18 Iowa's first touchdown and the Hawkeyes went on to beat Illinois 33-23 on Saturday. Iowa (9-2, 6-2 Big Ten) was trailing 10-0 in the first quarter when Jones took the kick near the right corner of the end zone and ran through a hole on the left side for the score. Iowa wide receiver Arland Bruce IV had a 2-yard run for a touchdown and Caleb Shudak kicked four field goals, including a 51-yarder in the second quarter. Linebacker Jack Campbell's 32-yard interception return for a touchdown with 1:36 to play closed the Hawkeyes' scoring. Illinois' Brandon Peters threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to tight end Luke Ford to end a 12-play, 75-yard drive that took 6:23 to start the game. But the Illini (4-7, 3-5) had just 9 yards on 10 plays in their next three possessions. James McCourt had three field goals for the Illini.

Tyler Goodson ran for 132 yards for the Hawkeyes, his third 100-yard game of the season. Alex Padilla, making his second start, was just 6 of 17 for 83 yards. Peters, who threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Williams in the closing seconds, was 16 of 36 for 248 yards. Illinois' Chase Brown, who was averaging 106.4 rushing yards per game, was held to 42 yards on 13 carries. Iowa extended its winning streak against the Illini to eight games. The Hawkeyes have won 13 of the last 14 in the series. Illinois was playing without head coach Bret Bielema, who tested positive for COVID-19 earlier in the week. Assistant head coach George McDonald was the interim head coach. - Illinois/AP College Football

11/13/21 - Erick All, rSr/2024, Iowa, 6-4, 252 (DS#11 TE) + More +

Michigan tight end Erick All woke up on Saturday with a sore ankle, a leftover reminder of the Wolverines' last painful loss. Inside a packed, hostile Beaver Stadium, he was able to block out the discomfort enough to help No. 9 Michigan stay in the Big Ten championship chase with a 21-17 win over No. 23 Penn State. All hauled in a 47-yard touchdown pass from Cade McNamara with 3:29 left and outran Penn State defenders to the end zone. Michigan (9-1, 6-1 Big Ten, No. 6 CFP) snapped a two-game skid to the Nittany Lions (6-4, 3-4). "I'm sure he wasn't thinking about that ankle," Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said. "He was thinking about the team." And what another loss would mean for the Wolverines' chance to end their 16-year championship drought.

All was hurt when the Wolverines fell to No. 8 Michigan State on Oct. 30 and didn't play last week in a win over Indiana. He knew the Wolverines needed to stay within reach of the Spartans and No. 6 Ohio State in the Big Ten East. "Adrenaline took care of the rest," All said. Michigan visits Maryland next before hosting the No. 6 Buckeyes on Nov. 27. "It's going to be tough for sure," McNamara said. "That game is going to be so big for us and I know when the moment comes, we'll be ready." McNamara completed 19 of 29 passes for 217 yards and three touchdowns and Hassan Haskins ran for 156 yards on 31 carries. Roman Wilson caught a pair of touchdown passes for the Wolverines, who led 14-6 midway through the fourth quarter. - Michigan/AP College Football

Iowa is gearing up for its biggest home game since the 1980s, Cincinnati has its highest ranking in 12 years and Clemson is on the outside looking in at The Associated Press college football poll for the first time since 2014. Alabama and Georgia are the only constants during this topsy-turvy college football season. They held down the top two spots for a fifth straight week in the AP Top 25, which is presented by Regions Bank. Alabama received 53 of a possible 62 first-place votes Sunday, with Georgia picking up the rest.

After those two teams, the movement up and down and in and out of the Top 25 was about what would be expected after a week in which nine ranked teams lost, including four in the top 10. Through the first five weeks of the season, 34 ranked teams have lost, the most in poll history. Iowa leapfrogged Penn State to take the No. 3 spot after its 51-14 road win over previously unbeaten Maryland. The Hawkeyes have their highest ranking since 2015. Penn State beat Indiana 24-0 at home and remained No. 4. No. 5 Cincinnati, coming off a 24-13 road win over Notre Dame, has its best ranking since Brian Kelly's 2009 Bearcats were No. 4 in the first week of November. Oklahoma, Ohio State, Oregon, Michigan and BYU round out the top 10. - AP College Football

Tyler Goodson saw nothing in front of him but the end zone - and that was before he got the ball. "Pre-snap, I saw it," the Iowa running back said, smiling. The play that turned into a 46-yard touchdown run early in the first quarter of No. 5 Iowa's 30-7 victory over Kent State on Saturday, was set up perfectly, Goodson said, with the Golden Flashes heading away from him. All he had to do was get the pitch from quarterback Spencer Petras. "Which I almost dropped, by the way," Goodson said, still smiling. Goodson caught the pitch, then ran for the touchdown, the first of his three rushing scores.

The Hawkeyes (3-0) have won nine straight games. They have won 14 consecutive nonconference games, the second-longest current streak in the nation. Iowa's first two wins of the season, against ranked teams Indiana and Iowa State, were built on its defense, which forced seven turnovers in the two games. It was important to get a balanced offense, and the Hawkeyes did in this game - 206 rushing yards and 212 passing yards. "We still have a lot of things to work on," Ferentz said. "The execution is still not there. But yeah, there were some good things going on, kind of subtly. It was good to get Tyler going a little bit better." Goodson's first touchdown gave Iowa a 9-0 lead. "We liked that play going into the game, but I didn't know that was going to be a touchdown," Petras said. "That was a heck of a job by Tyler to use his speed to get to the end zone." Goodson added a 35-yard scoring run in the third quarter, then had a 2-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to close the scoring. Goodson had just 154 rushing yards in Iowa's first two wins over Indiana and Iowa State. - Iowa/AP College Football
