Iowa turns to CJ Beathard at quarterback

Sports

August 8th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — In two seasons as Iowa’s backup quarterback, C.J. Beathard was one of the most popular players on the roster. Now it’s up to Beathard to live up to outsized expectations. Beathard, a redshirt junior nicknamed “Sunshine” by his teammates, was promoted to the starting role following a brutal loss to Tennessee in January’s TaxSlayer Bowl.

The move convinced former starter Jake Rudock to leave for Michigan and potentially left Beathard and the Hawkeyes in a tough spot. If Beathard can’t come through in 2015, it’s tough to see Iowa improving on a tepid 7-6 finish in 2015.

Beathard is the only quarterback with any experience for the Hawkeyes, who open against Illinois State on Sept. 5.

Police in Council Bluffs are investigating an armed robbery that took place early this (Saturday) morning. Officials say at around 3:40-a.m., three men entered the Casey’s General Store at 1030 Vets Memorial Hwy. The suspects were all dressed in dark clothing, wore gloves and had bandanas covering their faces. The first suspect was holding a firearm and jumped the counter before pointing the weapon at the clerk and demanding money and cigarettes. The second suspect was also armed. He pointed a gun at the kitchen worker, and told her not to move. The third suspect did not display a firearm and did not speak. The men stole the cash out of the drawer along with some cigarettes, and fled east out of the building. No injuries were reported.
