Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says everyone will find out together how effective the Hawkeyes’ two quarterback system will be and how long it lasts. Iowa hosts Indiana on Saturday and Jake Rudock will get the start after missing the Big Ten opener at Purdue. C.J. Beathard is also expected to play after leading the Hawks to a pair of road victories. Ferentz says there is no set plan right now on how much each quarterback will play.

He’s not concerned that the system will damage the confidence of both players. Indiana is 3-2 and Ferentz says the Hoosiers are starting to turn the corner under Kevin Wilson. In a year with few impressive non conference wins for Big Ten teams the Hoosiers may have posted the most impressive one with an upset victory at Missouri.

It is important to keep a defense fresh against Indiana’s up tempo offense and Ferentz hopes the Hawkeyes depth on the offensive line is an advantage.
