Iowa QB Battle to the Wire | Iowa Hawkeyes Football News

Iowa’s QB battle is heating up as game week looms — Hank Brown and Jeremy Hecklinski both get snaps in the opener against Northern Illinois, with a starter to be named by Friday. Coach Ferentz has a history of letting QB competitions drag on, from 2008’s Ricky Stanzi to 2015’s C.J. Beathard, but this year’s stakes are higher with a brutal Big Ten schedule and a must-win rivalry clash against Iowa State looming in Week 2. History warns that uncertainty leads to chaos — like that disastrous 2014 loss — so clarity now could mean the difference between a strong season and another rocky start.
