Takeaways from Iowa football's Week 2 depth chart vs. Iowa State

Iowa's Week 2 depth chart for their upcoming game against Iowa State reveals several key points. The quarterback position remains uncertain, with both Hank Brown and Jeremy Hecklinski sharing playing time, as was the case in their Week 1 win against Northern Illinois. Quarterback competition seems to be ongoing, with no clear winner yet.

Safety Xavier Styles and Marcello Vitti have been named the backups to starting strong safety Anthony Hawkins. The absence of key players further emphasizes the need for coordination among the backups. Running backs Kamari Moulton, Xavier Williams, and Nathan McNeil will fill the backup roles behind Moulton. Tyler Brown, who has been dealing with a soft tissue injury, is not included in the Week 2 depth chart, suggesting he will miss the game against Iowa State.
