Summary

Washington head coach Jedd Fisch stated he would be 'shocked' if starting center Landen Hatchett does not play against Iowa on Friday. Hatchett has missed the first five games of the season following two hand surgeries but is expected to contribute valuable depth and experience. Kolt Dieterich has filled in at center during Hatchett's absence, adjusting to a new position after transferring from Sam Houston State. The return of Hatchett will allow for greater flexibility in the offensive line as the Huskies aim to improve against a robust Iowa defense.
