IOWA CITY, Ia. – There is little doubt about Iowa’s primary target. The starting quarterback, whoever it may be, will always take at a least a passing glance toward tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz. The 6-foot-7, 265-pound senior possesses all-America skills and will draw most of the attention from defenses. But who is the Hawkeyes’ best [...]
IOWA CITY, Ia. – Forget, for a moment, that Iowa’s football team is in search of a quarterback. The rest of the offense has coach Kirk Ferentz feeling fairly optimistic as spring practices begin. “To me, we had more questions last year,” Ferentz said Wednesday. “The good thing about last year is, there were some [...]
ANN ARBOR, MICH. – Iowa didn’t change its game plan or scheme any different. But tight ends ended up with 11 catches on Saturday, led by junior C.J. Fiedorowicz with a career-high eight catches for 99 yards. It was the most catches for an Iowa tight end since Scott Slutzker caught 8 for 165 against [...]

IOWA CITY, Ia. – Dutifully, Iowa tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz shows up each Tuesday for the weekly Q/A with reporters – predictably answering the same question. After so much preseason hype, why so little production? Without pause, he responds that his day will come, and then reporters head off to someone else. So what’s wrong [...]
All you Iowa fans pleading for offensive change …you got your wish. Probably. The Hawkeyes were going to utilize fancy passing formations, anyway, under new offensive coordinator Greg Davis. Now that the running back position is even more uncertain than it was a month ago – don’t blink. “We’re not going to throw it 80 [...]
James Vandenberg is among a strong array of quarterbacks in the Big Ten Conference this season, and rightly so after completing 237 of 404 passes for 3,022 yards and 25 touchdowns. Is he the Hawkeyes’ most indispensible player, or is it: Receiver Keenan Davis, who assumes Marvin McNutt’s go-to role Tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz, who many [...]
