WUW 129 | Maurice "MoGoouchie" Goodson Jul 16, 2020

Show notes

Iowa Football in 2019 debuted a tremendous weapon in the backfield in the form of Freshman running back Tyler Goodson. Tyler stepped in as a true freshman and started playing Big Ten football like he had been doing it for years. Hawkeye nation looks to have #15 scoring touchdowns for the next couple of years, and he could potentially be the best back at Iowa since Shonn Greene. As popular as he has become, his parents Maurice and Felicia have become a bright spot in the Hawkeye family as well with their entertaining and infectious energy on social media and beyond. We had the pleasure to sit down with Maurice and talk topics ranging from his favorite memories from year 1 and a background on how Tyler grew up, to his reactions on the racial disparity debacle and his sons expectations moving forward. One of our favorite interviews to date. Enjoy
