After 25 seasons as the head coach of Iowa’s football team, there are few challenges Kirk Ferentz has not faced. However, Ferentz must now overcome a new and unforeseen complication that threatens to torpedo Iowa’s season: a long-term injury to the Hawkeyes’ starting quarterback. While Ferentz has previously managed QB injuries to quarterbacks like Ricky Stanzi and Spencer Petras which kept the Hawkeye starters out of a handful of games in the past, the potential loss of McNamara for several games (if not the rest of the season) will force the veteran head coach to turn to an inexperienced and unproven quarterback to guide Iowa’s struggling offense going forward.
