Nate Stanley didn’t light up the Minnesota defense for 333 yards as he did against Iowa State back in 2017, nor did he throw for 6 touchdowns as he did last year against Indiana. Statistically speaking, it was a pretty average game for the Iowa football team’s starting quarterback, but personally, I think it may have been one of the best performances of his Hawkeye career.
In yesterday’s victory over Minnesota, Stanley completed just 14 passes on 23 attempts for 173 yards and 2 touchdowns. His QBR was a pretty solid 81.3, which is the second-highest of the season for the senior signal-caller.
