2002:
1) Aaron Greving, the projected starter is injured in fall and spring and abruptly quits mid way through the season.
2) Justice Hariston fails to qualify, goes to prep school and then to Purdue where he has a decent, injury free, career.

2003:
1) Superstud Jermelle Lewis tears ACL and misses first half of season and is not the same.
2) Promising frosh Albert Young breaks leg. Out for year.

1) Shonn Greene fails to qualify out of high school
2) Fred Russell leaves early

5) Marcus Schnoor tears ACL
6) I think Champ Davis tears an ACL at some point as well.

2005:
1) Ferentz tricks the Angry Iowa-Running-Back-Hating-God by briefly moving Damian Sims to corner. Sims is the only scholarship RB to go four years without a major injury.

4) Paki #2 on depth chart throughout season

2009:
1) Shonn Greene leaves early
2) Jewel Hampton tears ACL in fall camp
3) Brinson still injured has one carry
4) Adam Robinson and Brandon Wegher do a nice job but usually one or both is at least hobbled
5) Paki again a staple on depth chart

2010:
1) Brinson leaves before spring ball
2) Wegher - slips one past the goalies
3) Coker - breaks collarbone before pads are even on
4) Hampton - torn ACL by game three, transfers prior to bowl
5) Robinson - concussions, then academics, not in good standing
6) Paki apparently also injured.

2011:
1) Coe - fails to qualify.
2) Rogers - out first half of season with bad ticker.
3) McCall looks great for 1st quarter: LOL, broken ankle! MCall returns early to play... LOL, suspension and probable departure.
4) Canzeri - burns redshirt, promptly injures hamstring and out for several games.
5) Coker. Dinged all year. Gradually gets healthy. Suspended for bowl game.

I count an even 20

Since 2002.

Here's more.

1959- Superstar junior-to-be Willie Fleming gets a B in a Tennis class and is declared ineligible. Ultimately may have cost Iowa the 1960 NC and another Heisman.

1961- All-American Larry Ferguson goes down after a 26-yard run- his 2nd carry of the year- for the #1 ranked Hawkeyes.

Winter, 1961- Omaha running back Gale Sayers loses his opportunity to play with Iowa when Iowa recruits Willie Ray Smith instead.

1968- Soph Denny Green runs for 175 in his 2nd game, but breaks his ankle. He gained weight, lost a step and became a so-so WR for the rest of his career.

1969- Exciting William "Zoom Zoom" Powell is shot in the stomach in the off-season. Maybe got caught up in the black boycott as well.

1969- Bruising fullback Tim Sullivan gets busted up in motorcycle accident and misses season. Not as good when he comes back after medical RS.

1972- Feature soph back Phil Hayman- had rushed for 160 in the SG and seemed poised to be outstanding- suffers career-ending neck injury in the 1st or 2nd game of '73.

1976- (Excellent) leading 1975 rusher Dave Schick experiences injury and (presumably) mental problems and leaves team during the '76 season.

1984- Iowa Rose Bowl hopes go down the drain as Ronnie Harmon is carried off the field with a broken leg.

1986- David Hudson, looking like a young Earl Campbell and averaging 7 cards a carry in the first 3 games, explodes his leg on a long run against UTEP. Never the same.

1988- Tony Stewart tears up his knee against tOSU after going over the 1000 yard mark on the year. (He came back for a good year in 1990 after having a "hitch in his git along" in '89.)
