Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz has a decision to make at quarterback as the Hawkeyes get set to host Minnesota. Sophomore Alex Padilla replaced Spencer Petras on the fourth drive of a 17-12 win at Northwestern and led the Hawkeyes to a pair of first half touchdown drives.
Ferentz says Petras was nursing an injury suffered at Wisconsin.
Ferentz was not ready to name a starter after Saturday’s game.
The Hawkeyes are 7-2 and remained 19th in the latest AP Poll.
