Iowa will have a new quarterback next season but that is not necessarily bad news for the Hawkeyes. Some of the most successful Iowa teams during the Kirk Ferentz era had new starting quarterbacks. The Hawkeyes must replace C.J. Beathard, who was 21-7 as a starter. (Click on the left side of the audio bar to listen)
O’Keefe rejoined the program as quarterbacks coach after a stint with the Miami Dolphins. Sophomore Nathan Stanley and junior Tyler Wiegers lead the competition. Stanley played sparingly as Beathard’s backup as a true freshman.
Ferentz says the biggest factor in who earns the job is decision making, especially for an offense that is built to limit turnovers.
Iowa’s spring game is April 21st.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Senate Republicans have amended a voter identification bill to reduce the number of early voting days. Lawmakers voted 26-21 Thursday in support of the bill. It includes a provision to reduce early voting before a general election from 40 days to 29 days. The bill also would require people to show acceptable identification at the polls. The state would send identification to people who need it.
CLINTON, Iowa (AP) — Authorities in eastern Iowa have declared a 5-year-old boxer-Labrador mix a dangerous dog for attacking a toddler just hours after it was adopted from an animal shelter. Clinton Police Chief Kevin Gyrion says the dog’s new owners took it to a friend’s house hours after they had adopted him on March 15. Sometime after arriving, the dog bit a 15-month-old boy in the face, leaving massive facial wounds. The boy will need reconstructive surgery.
