The Iowa Hawkeyes will start backup quarterback Jeremy Hecklinski against the Washington Huskies in their upcoming road game, as starting quarterback Hank Brown is sidelined due to an upper-body injury. Hecklinski recently sparred with Brown during training camp and will now take on the challenge of leading the team against a formidable Huskies offense led by Demond Williams.
Brown played in relief during Iowa's recent loss to Ohio State, completing 5-of-5 passes for 67 yards despite an overall lackluster performance. The Huskies, without their star wide receiver, will face a tough test against the strong defensive unit spearheaded by Phil Parker. Iowa's defense, under Coach Jedd Fisch, has struggled to score consistently, having fallen short by a single point in their last game against the USC Trojans.
To secure a victory in Seattle, Hecklinski will need to demonstrate smart decision-making and capitalize on his offensive talents at the right moments.
