When the Iowa football team released their depth chart for the Miami (OH) game, one of our big takeaways was that the quarterback battle had not been decided yet. Under senior quarterback Nate Stanley on the depth chart was Spencer Petras and Peyton Mansell with a big OR between the names.
We finally got clarification today though when Kirk Ferentz spoke with the media.
Redshirt freshman Spencer Petras has officially been named the number two quarterback against Miami of Ohio with Peyton Mansell being behind him.
Mansell, a redshirt sophomore, joined the Iowa football program as a three-star recruit from the state of Texas.
