Iowa football: The 2020 quarterback battle is beginning to heat up

The Iowa football team is surprisingly in a very good spot at the quarterback position. Starting for the team in 2019 will be senior quarterback Nate Stanley who is pushing himself in the conversation of greatest of all-time.

Behind him sits a plethora of talent and unlike the 2017 quarterback battle between Stanley, Tyler Wiegers, Ryan Boyles, and Drew Cook, this one isn’t so set in stone. Let’s face it, everyone knew that it was Stanley’s job to lose, but in 2020 it appears to be relatively wide open.

The first guy to be in the conversation for 2020 starter is current backup Peyton Mansell, who will be a redshirt junior in 2020 after redshirting his first year in Iowa City and backing up Stanley for the final two.
