Iowa football quarterback race remains unchanged
Summary
-
Iowa again listed Hank Brown and Jeremy Hecklinski with an OR on its quarterback depth chart, leaving the competition unresolved and both expected to play against Iowa State without a confirmed series allocation.
-
Brown completed 12 of 20 passes for 129 yards and a touchdown against Northern Illinois, compared with Hecklinski's 7 of 16 for 76 yards and a touchdown, while their initial PFF passing grades were just 44.7 and 37.9 respectively.
-
Iowa removed LJ Phillips from its running-back two-deep after a reported high ankle sprain and now lists Nathan McNeil and Xavier Williams as the backups to Kamari Moulton.
-
Iowa offensive linemen Trevor Lauck, Cael Winter and Kade Pieper remained listed as starters after leaving the opener early because of extreme heat, although a depth-chart listing alone does not establish medical clearance.
-
Iowa listed Reece Vander Zee as its starting punt returner and Evan James as the backup despite James' 77-yard punt-return touchdown in the opener.
