It is officially time to close off any talk of another quarterback leading the now 5-2 Iowa Hawkeyes.
After nearly three years in the system, two seasons as Iowa’s primary backup, and six games of starting experience, Spencer Petras finally showed what he is capable of doing in a 35-21 victory. The Hawkeye QB finished with 220 yards on 18/28 passing (64% & 7.9 YPA), three touchdowns, thousands of silenced haters, and most importantly zero interceptions.
To say it was was a rocky road behind center in 2020 does a disservice to the ice cream flavor as the case for Petras became less apparent and the likelihood of him hitting the potential Iowa saw in him dwindled.
