HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE IOWA COORDINATOR SPRING PRESS CONFERENCES

We got that annual right of spring, the spring practice press conferences with offensive coordinator Greg Davis and defensive coordinator Phil Parker, Wednesday. Here's what we learned:

Greg Davis

  • C.J. Beathard is good at football, and is fine tuning placement of his throws and decisionmaking. Tyler Wiegers is the clear backup. Assume the Position will be starting there.
  • Both Drew Cook and Ryan Boyle are still working at quarterback. I have no idea how much longer that can go on, though Davis says it is "a bit too early" to separate them. By this time next year, someone is probably moving; by their third seasons, John Wienke was practicing pooch punts and Marvin McNutt was a starting receiver.
