Nearly nine months later, we got the answer. At least as far as who will be starting during the first game against Josh Allen and the Wyoming Cowboys.
That is true sophomore Nathan Stanley. Stanley came to Iowa as one of the top players from Wisconsin, and one of the top 25 quarterbacks in the class of 2016.
Making waves by beating out presumed backup Tyler Wiegers last season behind veteran CJ Beathard. Stanley and Wiegers were in a competition that came down to game week. This could signal that the Hawkeyes have a good problem on their hands if both are ready, but nothing can be certain until the games have begun.
