Iowa will hand the offense over to Jeremy Hecklinski for their upcoming game against Washington on Friday night. Hank Brown, previously the starting quarterback, is unlikely to play due to a shoulder injury sustained in last week's loss to Ohio State. Hecklinski has performed well in limited action this season and shared quarterback duties with Brown in the preseason. The shift comes as Iowa seeks to improve following a lackluster performance against Ohio State.
