IOWA CITY– There are plenty of questions as the Hawks go into their two-a-day mode in fall camp.
Can Dace Richardson be effective and healthy all year after sitting out two seasons with injuries?
If Jewel Hampton starts, who will be No. 2 at running back?
When Rick Stanzi goes to the sideline with Iowa up, who will come in at quarterback?
Finally, after 101 years, is this the time for the Chicago Cubs to win the World Series?
Okay, the last one is for Brian Fleck, longtime Cubs fan.
With Dace in mind, it all starts up front with the offensive line.

It's difficult to get through the end of summer and the beginning of the school year without pausing for a long weekend to celebrate Labor Day. When I was a kid, Labor Day was just another day when my dad didn't have to go to work. Often, this meant a trip to the river or one of the nearby lakes to go fishing – or a picnic at a state park. Sometimes, we'd drive the hour or so it took to get to my grandparents' farm for a big family dinner, or we'd end up with a houseful of relatives enjoying one of Mother's incredible pot-roast dinners.
