Toughness is also how a person handles a difficult situation, and how a person responds to adversity and danger. Toughness can be defined in a number of ways that goes beyond just winning a fist fight, or knocking someone silly on the football field. It wasn’t the most serious of questions, but it intrigued me, and it was fun to answer. This week’s question from a fan is what five Iowa football players, past or present, would you pick to lead you down a dangerous alley or to rescue you from harm’s way. It is more about history and about being tough and brave. This week’s question didn’t have anything to do with what is, or isn’t, happening on the playing field this season. The series started with me answering what one change would I make about the Iowa football team, and my answer was for the coaches to start recruiting more mobile quarterbacks. IOWA CITY, Iowa – This is the second in a series in which I respond to a question about Hawkeye football by writing a column with my answer. They could also reach out during the Hawk Fanatic radio show and podcast that airs on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 am to 11 am on KCJJ radio. Fans are encouraged to ask questions either through e-mails, social media, text messages or word of mouth. This series will run on a weekly basis for the remainder of the football season. ![]() The starting lineups reflect the two teams' offenses and defenses, not the kickoff teams.Editor’s note: This is the second in a series in which Pat Harty from Hawk Fanatic answers a question from a fan about Hawkeye football. In American college football, the official record of the game includes a "Game Participation" chart which shows the starting lineups and the other participants. The list of players to start the game is usually determined by the head coach of the franchise and not the league. (Every game starts with a kickoff, which would be a special teams play.) A player gets credited with only one start if he should happen to be on both the offensive and defensive starting lineups (as has happened several times in recent years with Troy Brown of the New England Patriots, who played both wide receiver and defensive back.) Yet, this is not the official starting lineup. This statistic reflects offense and defense only, not special teams. The National Football League counts how many times each player takes the first snap of the game. ![]() LB-A team can start three or four linebackers based on formation.If there is only one he is called the Nose Tackle (NT) DT-Depending on formation a team may have up to two defensive tackles.However, the 3-4 (3 defensive linemen plus 4 linebackers) formation is becoming more popular among professional and NCAA Division I teams. Traditional football defense is the 4-3 (4 defensive linemen plus 3 linebackers) formation. WR - Wide receiver - Teams can have up to five receivers on the field so long as there are no more than 11 offensive players.LT, RT-Left and right tackles on either end of the five man offensive line.LG, RG-Left and right guards on either side of the center.He is their prime kick returner but also is a wide receiver. An example of this is Devin Hester of the Chicago Bears. Very often most of the special teams players are starters or bench players for offense or defense. In American football, a team starts with 11 players on offense, 11 players on defense, and a special teams squad of 11 players for punts, kickoffs, and extra point attempts. Starting lineup in specific sports American football If a common abbreviation is known, the abbreviation is listed after the associated number. In that instance, the associated number is used as well. In both baseball and basketball, it is common for players' positions to be denoted by a number as well as by a name. ![]() Consequently, there is often a bit of prestige that is associated with being a starter. The starters are commonly the best players on the team at their respective positions. The players in the starting lineup are commonly referred to as starters, whereas the others are substitutes or bench players. A starting lineup in sports is an official list of the set of players who will actively participate in the event when the game begins.
