It was announced that junior linebacker Jacody Coleman was transferring out of Iowa for personal reasons. No idea what those personal reasons are, but Coleman was spotted having lunch with Coach Lickliter the week before.

Transfer
Iowa crushed South Carolina in the 2009 Outback Bowl. Early on the defense took advantage of mistakes by the Gamecocks. Tyler Sash had two interceptions and the defense also recovered a fumble to give the offense a short field. The offense used Shonn Greene and Brandon Myers to move the ball effectively and had a 21-0 lead at the half. In the third quarter the Hawks built the lead to 31-0 before the Gamecocks managed to score 10 points to end the game. Greene ended up with 121 yards and three TDs, giving him 1850 yards and 20 TDs for the season. Unfortunately that is the last we will see of Shonn in the black and gold as he will go pro.
The one thing I didn’t like was all the talk in the booth about Ferentz going to Cleveland. Now I realize that in the second half there wasn’t much to talk about after it was clear the game was a blow out.
The 2009 Outback Bowl was one of the most dominating Hawkeye bowl victories ever. Maybe the win will push the Hawks into the Top 25 for the final poll of the season.

Greene Doak Walker
Shonn Greene picked up some nice hardware tonight by winning the Doak Walker award and the nation’s best college running back. Greene beat out Javon Ringer from Michigan St and Knowshon Moreno from Georgia. I believe he is the first Hawkeye to ever be nominated for the award, let alone win it. Nice job Shonn. Come back for another season!
