Iowa travels to play No. 20 Washington in a college football Week 6 game on Friday, October 9. Quarterback Hank Brown was considered a game-time question before the game. Coach Kirk Ferentz warned his players not to count on Brown being available. Iowa has since named a starting QB.
Washington plays at home as the 20th-ranked Huskies. The unresolved starter question adds a layer of unpredictability to how Iowa intends to attack downfield against a ranked team on the road.
