Senior College


Over the summer a former coach and current friend, Dave Triplett asked if I would help him prepare for a series of classes aimed at retired individuals in the community. The class which focuses on football and the different coaching points of the game. Today was the first of four days for the class which is being taught in the Auditorium of the Jacobson Athletic Complex which houses Iowa Football.


Approximately 50 people are enrolled in the course which is sponsored by the Emeritus Faculty Association and the University of Iowa Alumni Association. "Trip," as seen in the picture, is discussing the coaching points associated with offense and in particular, the Zone Running Play which is popular with many college and professional programs around the nation.


This two hour class will take place throughout the fall and take a look at all phases of the game. Along with the Zone Running Play, Trip discussed many of the techniques it takes to play on the defenisve side of the ball.
