Iowa plans to start Hank Brown against Iowa State in Cy-Hawk series

The No. 21 Iowa Hawkeyes will start fourth-year quarterback Hank Brown in the 73rd edition of the Cy-Hawk series against Iowa State. This follows a 40-0 opening victory against Northern Illinois where the team employed a rotation at the position. While Brown is designated as the starter, Iowa intends to utilize third-year quarterback Jeremy Hecklinski during early possessions as the team continues to evaluate the competition. Brown finished the season opener with 129 yards and one touchdown, while Hecklinski recorded 76 yards and one touchdown with one interception. Both players saw action in three offensive series during the first game. The coaching staff maintains that the quarterback situation remains unsettled heading into the weekend matchup.
