It may not seem like a big deal, but for an Iowa football team that typically faces a 4-3 base or 4-2-5 base defense, going up against Rutgers 3-4 defense will be an interesting test for both the Hawks and Nate Stanley.
One of the big plusses coming out of the Iowa football program for a quarterback is the responsibility placed on the quarterback for running a pro-style attack. It requires the quarterback to understand a drop back, taking a snap from center, and more reads of the defense. The last part is particularly important when analyzing the 3-4 defense that Rutgers will be running.
