Iowa City, Iowa – Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says Jackson Stratton could start Saturday’s game at quarterback at Maryland.
The transfer from Colorado State entered the loss at UCLA after Brendan Sullivan left the game with an injured ankle. Cade McNamara was listed as the starter on Monday’s two-deep and has returned to practice but his availability is still uncertain.
Ferentz says the limited game experience Stratton got at UCLA was a plus. He completed three of six passes and led Iowa on a touchdown drive.
Sullivan started the last two games and Ferentz says he could be available for a bowl game.
Ferentz says a decision on the starting quarterback will be made on Friday. Ferentz has coached against several former Iowa coaches and players but this will be the first time he has gone up against a family member. Former Hawkeye offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz is an offensive assistant at Maryland.
