MARSHALLTOWN, Ia. — Greg Davis was greeted warmly as he stood to speak to the Marshall County I-Club. “Nice to be here,” Davis said Wednesday evening. “After 4-8, it’s a pleasure to be anywhere.” The 2012 season was a trying one for Davis in his first year as the Hawkeyes’ offensive coordinator.

And in the scramble to be Iowa’s starting quarterback, that makes Rudock the front-runner. “At this point, it’s early to try and predict,” Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz said of [...]
Trip west a ‘change of pace’ for the Hawkeyes
The three-man race for Iowa’s starting quarterback position has received the most attention this spring, but coach Kirk Ferentz made it clear Sunday that there are plenty of job openings on his football team. “When you go 4-8 there aren’t any incumbents,” Ferentz said after Sunday’s open practice at Valley Stadium in West Des Moines.
