Kirk Herbstreit has rolled out his top-performing players from Week 1, and the Iowa Hawkeyes have themselves a representative on the list.

In typical Iowa fashion, though, it’s the punter — Tory Taylor — who’s being highlighted by Herbie.

That’s just so Iowa, isn’t it? And in true Hawkeye fashion, it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Taylor — a preseason All-Big-Ten player — absolutely crushed it against SDSU, and he deserves to be credited amongst the quarterback’s and wide receivers of the college football world.

Taylor punted 10 times against the Jackrabbits. You read that right. 10 times.

In those 10 punts, he averaged 47.9 per attempt with seven dropped behind his opponent’s 20. His 479 punt yards accumulated were more than both Iowa and South Dakota State combined on offense in the 7-3 affair.

Again, that’s just so Iowa.
