Hate Week Rivalry & QB Battle | Iowa Hawkeyes Football News

0:00It's a Timberknife. Welcome to Iowa Hawkeyes Football News Today, AI-powered coverage of your squad. I'm Cory with the story. Alright, let's talk about the upcoming game against Iowa State. It's hate week, and while Iowa State lost some key players, this is still a rivalry game so anything can happen. We're also sending out thoughts to the family of Derek Phillips and the Hawkeye marching band family after a recent loss. On the injury front, Tyler Brown is still out, and LJ Phillips won't be playing this week either, though it's week to week for him. It's a relief that his injury wasn't season ending, especially with how he looked on the field. Kamari Molten, though, was an absolute beast in his limited snaps. The quarterback situation is still up in the air. Both Hank Brown and another guy showed some encouraging things in the last game, but neither really stood out as the clear starter. It sounds like they'll keep rotating them, playing it by ear until one of them proves they can consistently lead the offense. One bright spot has been Tony Diaz at Wide Receiver. He's been aggressive,

1:00fast, and lives like a legitimate threat. It's refreshing to see a receiver making plays like that, and hopefully he continues to be a big part of the offense. The Red Zone offense definitely needs improvement. Drives stalled out their last game, and that's something that needs to be fixed before conference play. While it's a small sample size, the coaching staff is looking at adjustments, and we're hoping to see better execution this Saturday.
