While the honor of being named one of ten finalists for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award is an accomplishment in itself for the third-year signal-caller for the Iowa football program, does he stand a chance?
If we’re being honest, not really. It’s just too good of a year for senior quarterbacks in college football, and there is almost zero chance that Stanley wins this thing unless the wheels absolutely fall off the wagon for multiple guys.
Even then, Stanley would have to put together, quite possibly, the most impressive six-game stretch for an Iowa football quarterback in the history of the program.
