The Halftime Herkys: Handing out midseason hardware to Hawkeyes’ stars

At the midway point, who have the Iowa Hawkeyes’ MVPs and top performers been? It’s time for the Halftime Herkys.

With the 2023 college football season officially at its midway point, it’s time to take stock of what we’ve seen so far from the Iowa Hawkeyes.

Iowa boasts a 5-1 overall record and a 2-1 mark in Big Ten play as it readies for a massive Big Ten West showdown at Wisconsin (4-1, 2-0 Big Ten).

In familiar Hawkeye fashion, the offense has been largely lifeless and unspectacular, while the defense and special teams have once again been mostly splendid.

Still, there’s been some key contributions across the board to lift Iowa to its 5-1 start across each of its units. Who are the stars so far in 2023?

In awards show fashion, let’s hand out some Halftime Herkys to Iowa’s best performers at the midway point.
