in the Iowa game, they've scored two touchdowns off long punt returns. the Hawkeyes are truly clicking on all cylinders, as they've scored on offense, special teams, and defense (an int return). underrated safety Tanner Smith has an interception for Iowa (teammate and fellow over-achieving, blue collar, coach on the field John Lowdermilk has been solid, as well).
on the other side of the ball, Western Michigan's almost unknown junior safety Justin Currie is the team's best defensive player.
despite running a 4.4 forty yard dash at 6-foot-2 and 187 pounds and posting a 38-inch vertical jump at the MichiganPreps Combine while at Big Rapids High School in Michigan, Currie was virtually unrecruited. "weird," huh?
despite being on a team that is severely overmatched, Currie has played VERY well against Iowa.

Michael Campanaro is having another BIG day for Wake Forest. he has a 66-yard touchdown catch-and-run in the first half and already had 91 yards at the break.

White cornerback Kenny Buyers has looked impressive on the road against #7 Georgia. Buyers has taken away the wide side of the field in the passing game so far, allowing only 2 completions for 16 yards despite his "lack of hip swivel."
