Iowa center Logan Jones says there is no lack of motivation as the Hawkeyes get ready for Saturday’s game at Maryland. The Hawkeyes are 6-4 and have been off since a November eighth loss at UCLA.
Jones says the Hawks will be ready no matter who starts at quarterback. Brendan Sullivan is out with an injured ankle, Cade McNamara has been cleared and Jackson Stratton is also a possibility.
Running back Kaleb Johnson says the Hawkeyes are excited fior the final two games of the regular season.
Johnson says if Jackson Stratton gets the start at quarterback he will be ready.
Tight end Luke Lachey says for the tight ends nothing changes depending upon who the quarterback is.
After missing a couple of games due to injury Lachey feels he is returning to game shape.
Maryland coach Mike Locksley wants to celebrate Senior Day with a win over Iowa. After a 3-1 start the Terrapins have dropped five of their last six heading into Saturday’s game against the Hawkeyes.
Locksley says Kirk Ferentz has built a winning program at Iowa with a consistent style of play.
Locksley says the key for the Terrapin defense will be slowing down Hawkeye running back Kaleb Johnson. The Hawkeyes are 4-0 in Big Ten play when Johnson goes over 100 yards of rushing.
