Iowa seeks advantage with morning practice schedule

On Tuesday, the Iowa Hawkeyes announced a big change to their fall practice schedule. 

There won't be much more sleeping in late for the Hawkeyes players as the team will be moving practices to the mornings. Kirk Ferentz alluded to doing research to make the decision but didn't say exactly what type. 

He did have this to say about it to QC Times:

"From our standpoint we felt there were too many advantages not to go that route," Ferentz told the team’s web site. "It is something I have been contemplating for a couple years. We feel we can be better prepared mentally for game days, and there are physical advantages to it."

Perhaps the switch will lead to a bounce back season for the Hawkeyes as the players are said to be happy with the move.
