Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz is not ready to name a starting quarterback for Saturday’s game against Northwestern.
Alex Padilla relieved Spencer Petras in the second half of a 54-10 loss at second ranked Ohio State. Neither shined for the nation’s worst offense.
Ferentz was asked what the coaches are evaluating before deciding on a starter.
Ferentz says there is no plan to use both against Northwestern.
With three straight losses and a 3-4 record Ferentz hopes there is a sense of urgency.
The Wildcats are 1-6 but have won two west division titles in the last four years.
