Wisconsin Starters

Iowa running back Adam Robinson runs into the end zone during the fourth quarter of Iowa’s game against Wisconsin on Oct. 17, 2009. If Iowa beats Michigan State next week, it will be the Hawkeyes’ first 8-0 start in school history.

In 2009, Iowa kicked off its season with a 7-0 record for the first time since 1985 with a 20-10 win over Wisconsin in Madison. The Badgers owned the first half, notching a Philip Welch field goal and a 10-yard rushing touchdown by running back Montee Ball. Iowa only scored on a Daniel Murray field goal. The Hawkeyes came out ready in the second half, though.

In the third quarter, quarterback Ricky Stanzi tossed a 24-yard touchdown to tight end Tony Moeaki to tie the game at 10.

In the fourth, Iowa added an Adam Robinson touchdown on a 10-yard run, and Murray made it a two-possession game by splitting the uprights yet again. The Hawkeyes held the Badgers scoreless in the second half, outscoring Wisconsin 17-0.

The Hawkeye defense picked off Badger quarterback Scott Tolzien three times with defensive back Amari Spievey recording two picks and linebacker A.J. Edds racking up one. Robinson led the way on the offensive side of the ball for Iowa, picking up 91 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. Through the air, Stanzi completed 17 of his 23 pass attempts for 218 yards and a score, and his go-to target was Derrell Johnson-Koulianos, who hauled in eight passes for 113 yards.

Moeaki also made an impact in the passing game, catching three passes for 55 yards and a score.

Iowa long snapper Jackson Subbert snaps the ball during a game against Northwestern at Ryan Field on Oct. 26. Subbert’s snaps have helped Iowa kicker Keith Duncan to an NCAA-leading 19 field goals on the season.

The art of long snapping Jackson Subbert has played a key role on special teams this season without receiving any of the recognition.

BY PETE RUDEN peter-ruden@uiowa.edu

When Keith Duncan lines up for a kick on the Kinnick Stadium turf, everyone in the stadium can almost expect the football to split the yellow uprights.

After all, Duncan leads the nation with 19 field goals on the season, a stat that makes everyone watching and wearing black and gold comfortable.

But there’s another national leader on that field-goal unit who doesn’t get all the recognition: long snapper Jackson

Subbert.

Along with Duncan’s Division I-leading mark, Subbert leads college football with the most snaps on successful fieldgoal attempts.

Because of the success Iowa has had when it comes to long-snapping in recent years — ranging from Casey Kreiter to Tyler Kluver to Subbert — Hawkeye long snappers tend to fly under the radar while contributing as a crucial part to one of football’s most important groups.

“If you know the long snapper’s name, typically he’s not doing his job correct-

ly,” Subbert said. “It just comes down to knowing what your role is, owning your role, and then just doing that role really well.”

Often an assumed part of the game, a special-teams unit can’t function without a proper snap, whether that be on punts or field goals.

Everyone knows about the pressure kickers face in clutch situations, but that’s also true of long snappers. Subbert said his blood was pumping before delivering the snap on Miguel Recinos’ game-winning field goal to down Ne-

braska 31-28 last season.

They won’t be displayed on posters around the stadium and fans won’t be wearing their jerseys at games, but accurate snaps are an essential part to every football team.

“It’s one thing that is very unnoticed to the fans — it’s an incredibly hard job,” Duncan said. “Long snappers are one of the most underappreciated position groups in the sport. It’s incredibly important, and it makes my job a lot easier.”

LONG SNAPPING CONTINUED FROM 3 Keeping the line moving Iowa has found success in long snapping recently, and a lot of that can be traced back to each new snapper learning from the one before them.

For Kluver, it was one of the best Hawkeye long snappers of all time.

Before Kreiter moved on to the NFL — where he was named to the 2018 Pro Bowl as a member of the Denver Broncos — he showed Kluver the ins and outs of being a Hawkeye specialist.

Kluver used that knowledge as a starter for the next four years. Eventually, he passed that on to Subbert, who hasn’t snapped an unplayable ball this season.

“When I came in, I was definitely not ready to snap in a Big Ten game,” Subbert said. “I think that’s pretty clear. You can go back and look at it. [Kluver] was a great long snapper, so not only the mental part of the game, but [he helped with] the physical aspect of it, too.

Maybe my grip, what can be changed — just have another set of eyes.

“He started for four years, so this is a guy that has snapped a ton of games — as many in Iowa history. So, just knowing what has worked for him and to be able to put my own little spin on it and just see him work throughout the game, see his routines before the game, during the game, during practice. Just modeling a lot of my stuff after him, I think has been incredibly beneficial.”

The impact Kluver had on Subbert can’t be forgotten. It’s led to success on the field and kept the stretch of successful snapping going in Iowa City.

“It makes me real happy to know that he thinks I actually helped him out,” Kluver said.

“I think it’s awesome to see what he’s been able to do. Again, no one really noticed, but I definitely noticed. Other people noticed he stepped right in, and he’s taken the reigns, and there’s been no missed beats.”

Learning to snap Even before they arrive at college, long snappers have a different experience in the recruiting world.

Most snappers aren’t the heralded bluechip recruits that fans are raving about on message boards across the Internet.

“It’s definitely different,” Kluver said.

“You’re not getting all the graphics made for you. You’re not getting whole fan bases to follow you on Twitter, come after you, and everyone’s really trying to get you there. No one really knows who you are.”

Iowa long snapper Jackson Subbert warms up during the Iowa football game against Purdue at Kinnick Stadium on Oct. 19.

Instead, they make their name known through camps.

While Subbert played tight end and defensive end in high school and Kluver was a linebacker with opportunities to play at Division II schools, both found that snapping presented them with a better chance to play at the Division I level.

From there, they performed at camps and eventually found their way onto Iowa’s radar.

When Kluver arrived in Iowa City, things were unsurprisingly different from other position groups.

Kluver said that before current special teams coordinator LeVar Woods took over, there was just a full-time assistant who served as a supervisor for the specialists.

Outside of that, the group held their own meetings and did their own things at practice when the punt or field-goal units weren’t called upon.

For the entirety of Subbert’s time as a starter, though, Woods has been there with him, and he sees the continuity of consistency from Kluver to Subbert.

“What’s impressed me about [Subbert] is that his first game last year, the first opponent was his first game playing,” Woods said. “He hadn’t taken a snap any other time. So, to be able to be thrust in the situation and be able to handle some of the things he did, I thought was pretty impressive.”

Earning recognition Although Kluver was a four-year starter for the Hawkeyes, he didn’t become a household name until the latter half of his senior season.

In Iowa’s 55-24 win over then-No. 6 Ohio State in 2017, Kluver made Hawkeye long-snapping history.

With a 31-17 lead in the third quarter, Iowa faced a fourth-and-4 from the Buckeyes’ 21yard line. Lined up in a trick-play formation, Kluver snapped the ball to punter Colten Rastetter before breaking out into a seam route down the middle of the field.

Wide open, Kluver hauled in the pass to set the Hawkeyes up with first-and-goal on the 2. From there, quarterback Nate Stanley — with future Cincinnati Bengal Sam Hubbard wrapped around his ankle — found tight end T.J. Hockenson in the back of the end zone to put the Hawkeyes up 38-17 and effectively put the game out of reach.

In a key moment, a long snapper stepped up in a noticeable way, putting the cherry on top of a wild night.

“Even though long snappers know that they have a huge impact, you feel, and that impact is felt much less than any other position on the team,” Kluver said. “There’s just not a lot of sway that you have in the game as far as winning the ballgame. To have that feeling of, ‘Wow, I really did something,’ that was cool.”

After finishing the season and graduating, Kluver parlayed that play into social-media

fame and launched the “Washed Up Walkons” podcast with former teammates Drake Kulick and Kevin Ward.

Kluver is changing the stereotype that long snappers aren’t popular figures, as evidenced by his more than 6,000 Twitter followers.

Now, with Subbert entering the final stretch of his career, he could be looking at a similar future.

“You know, I would hope so,” Subbert said about getting the opportunity to catch a pass.

“My fingers are crossed, but I’m not sure if that’s going to happen for me or not.”

8 - The Daily Iowan - PREGAME - Iowa City, Iowa - Friday, November 8, 2019

ONE ON ONE WITH NATE STANLEY Daily Iowan football reporter Pete Mills sat down with quarterback and Wisconsin native Nate Stanley to talk about Brussels sprouts, backpacking, and podcasts.

The Daily Iowan: When you’re not playing football, what do you do in your free time?

Nate Stanley: Hanging out with friends. Actually, I like to be outdoors with people.

DI: What do you like to do outside?

Stanley: Like hunting or fishing and that type of stuff. Anything outside, really, is something I really enjoy doing.

DI: Is that your dream vacation, then?

Backpacking and fishing?

Stanley: I would really like to backpack and camp, you know, through-out the national parks in the United States.

Whether it be Yosemite, or Glacier National Park, or places like that.

DI: Before the season, you had to do a photoshoot with a hawk on your arm.

How terrifying was that?

Stanley: You know, I was actually the last one to hold it in the photoshoot, A.J. [Epenesa] and Brandon [Smith] held it before me. Those two seemed pretty confident with it, so at that point, it wasn’t too bad.

DI: What’s your diet like during the season? Are there parts of it you don’t like?

Stanley: We’re pretty consistent with our diet throughout the whole year.

We get pretty much all the food we could ever need brought right to us here.

Everybody’s pretty good at bringing us nutritious food.

DI: Is there any food they give you that you don’t like?

Stanley: There’s some veggies I don’t like, like Brussels sprouts and stuff like that, but there’s always a variety of options.

DI: What’s your favorite restaurant in the Iowa City area then?

Stanley: Estela’s, probably. Either that or Monica’s.

DI: Is there something you listen to during the season to pump yourself up for games?

Stanley: I listen to a guy named Jocko Willink, some of his podcasts. And then the song during the Hawk Walk that I listen to is “Lose Yourself” by Eminem.

WISCONSIN I won On the Line my sophomore year, so this cold streak is really starting to hurt.

WISCONSIN I pride myself in being loyal, but I’m not stupid.

WISCONSIN Big. Ten. Football.

IOWA Score at the half: 6-5. Four punts. Three field goals.

One safety. Forty-thousand bored fans.

WISCONSIN I miss Alex Hornibrook.

WISCONSIN Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite >> Nate Stanley on the road.

WISCONSIN Iowa’s last trip to Madison still induces nightmares.

ALABAMA Hold that Tide-ger!

ALABAMA Gotta go with the homefield advantage. Roll Tide.

LSU Hold that tiger!

ALABAMA Geaux Tide or Roll Tigers?

I’m confused.

LSU My Ed Orgeron impression needs some work.

LSU I will continue to pick LSU because of my not so secret man crush on Joe Burrow… DM me, please.

ALABAMA Taking ‘Bama with or without Tua.

No. 5 Penn State vs.

No. 13 Minnesota

PENN STATE Penn State’s going to score at the same rate P.J. Fleck talks.

PENN STATE It’s Week 10, and I still have zero idea if Minnesota is ~actually~ good or not.

PENN STATE College football is not prepared for a 9-0 Minnesota team.

MINNESOTA Picking Penn State is no fun (also my record is already bad in OTL, so it’s whatever).

PENN STATE Don’t worry, P.J., you’ve got an extra seven years to try to beat PSU now.

PENN STATE Penn State’s safe because it’s on the road. IYKIYK.

PENN STATE Let’s see how row boats do in tougher waters.

Appalachian State vs. South Carolina

APPALACHIAN STATE Never forget Sept. 1, 2007.

SOUTH CAROLINA What does this game have to do with anything?

APPALACHIAN STATE Just a reminder that South Carolina beat Georgia this year and that college football may be broken.

SOUTH CAROLINA Can’t beat Georgia and lose to App State in the same season... right?

APPALACHIAN STATE It’s pronounced APPUH-LATCH-UN. You’re welcome.

APPALACHIAN STATE I’ve heard you can only play for App State if you have a full beard and cut down trees in your free time.

SOUTH CAROLINA App State’s still recovering from that Georgia Southern loss.

No. 20 Kansas State vs.

Texas

KANSAS STATE This has all the makings of a wild(cat) game.

TEXAS Alright, Alright, Alright.

KANSAS STATE Verdict: Texas is not back.

TEXAS Apparently, this is the week where I only pick underdogs.

KANSAS STATE Lol, I forgot Kansas State is good at football now.

KANSAS STATE Stay with me on this one: Texas isn’t very good.

TEXAS Nobody wants to win the Big 12.

No. 18 Iowa vs.

No. 16 Wisconsin No. 1 LSU vs.

BIG TEN MATCHUPS Anna Kayser

anna-kayser@uiowa.edu

“Last week was quite possibly the worst, most boring bye week in history.”

Purdue @ Northwestern

11 a.m. | BTN Things we learned in weeks nine and 10: Northwestern is very, very bad, and Purdue either isn’t as good as we thought, or Illinois is better. I’m going with the latter, but I’m thinking the Boilermakers might make a mess of the Wildcats in this one.

No. 5 Penn State @ No. 13 Minnesota

11 a.m. | ABC This is the biggest Big Ten game to date. You can’t change my mind.

Is Minnesota actually good? Can it beat the scheduled game and somehow win the West? Can Penn State hold out to face Ohio State while being undefeated? This is exciting.

Maryland @ No. 3 Ohio State

11 a.m. | FOX For the love of football, pair Ohio State up with Alabama or LSU or an actual good team for once. This is getting old, and I’m tired of watching Ohio State put up thousands of points against subpar Big Ten teams. We get it — you’re winning the Big Ten Championship.

Outtake: All Ohio State needs to win this game is a bunch of plastic straws. I’m sorry.

Illinois @ Michigan State

2:30 p.m. | FS1 This will probably be the most interestingly bad game that the Big Ten has to offer this week. Michigan State is so average that I forgot it existed, but Illinois? Illinois has launched itself into the spotlight and has nothing to lose. What even is happening?

No. 18 Iowa @ No. 16 Wisconsin

2:30 p.m. | BTN Cincinnati is the only team that separates Iowa and Wisconsin in the rankings, but I doubt it’ll seem that way in Camp Randall on Saturday. The saying “Hawks by a million” will not be applying here.

The Daily Iowan - PREGAME - Iowa City, Iowa - Friday, November 8, 2019 - 11

POWER RANKINGS 1) Ohio State

This week is the first Big Ten West elimination game. Who will be on their way to getting killed

by Ohio State? Why is that the question we always have to ask?

2) Penn State

Little brother to Ohio State. Again.

3) Wisconsin

Has anyone checked on Wisconsin lately? Is it OK?

4) Minnesota

IS MINNESOTA ACTUALLY GOOD OR NOT? THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW.

5) Michigan

Michigan has scored a lot of points as of late, but it’s playing for literally nothing at this point.

6) Iowa

Can Keith Duncan break his season-high of four field goals in a game? I have a feeling we’re about to find out.

7) Indiana

Indiana played Northwestern last week. Let’s not give it too much credit.

8) Maryland I feel like the turtles have been through a lot in the past two years. That’s what I always see when this comes up, because I don’t care enough to look at how Maryland has been doing.

9) Michigan State

Michigan State and Iowa State should get together and have coffee sometime.

10) Illinois

The Illini are fighting their way up the leaderboard in this very critical ranking system. Hard not to be impressed.

11) Purdue

I was beginning to think that Purdue wasn’t that bad. Thanks, Illinois.

12) Nebraska

There’s always next year, Cornhuskers!

13) Northwestern So, so bad.

14) Rutgers See above.
