Despite Cade McNamara's transfer, Spencer Petras has just announced his intention to remain on the football team for his final season of eligibility in 2023. He seems resigned to being the surrogate QB coach for Cade McNamara, a role he is playing with Joey Labas in bowl preparation.
It doesn't surprise me Petras is staying. Despite all the fan criticism of Petras's QB abilities, there has always been every reason to believe he is a loyal teammate. Maybe Petras can use the 2023 season as a springboard into a coaching career.

Love to see it.

It sounds like the shoulder injury that Petras had against Nebraska was so bad it would take about 10 months total to do the re-hab and even then, it is still not certain that his shoulder strength will ever return to what it was. 

It makes perfect sense for Petras to stay on the team and complete his rehab on Iowa's dime.  Who knows, maybe he could even be ready to play next November if other Iowa QB's get hurt or don't work out. Maybe he could even get an NFL tryout in 2024.  But if he can never be able to play again, Petras can still get a feel for if he wants to be a coach.

Plus pick up some NIL cash.
Petras told someone in the media his shoulder injury is "bad." He is coming back with no expectation of playing. He wants to become a coach. Iowa could use a QB coach to replace B. Ferentz. They won't have to pay one. I am not sure how that works under the rules. I doubt there is a rule saying an injured player can't attend practices.

Petras could be a pretty decent QB coach actually. All he's got to do is tell the QB's he's coaching, "watch my tape, and do the exact opposite."

Campbell was incredibly good.  And a treat to watch.  Hell of a football player.

Punter Tory Taylor announces he is coming back next year, rather than going to the NFL. He is 25-years old.
Makes me wonder how much NIL these guys are making. Tory Taylor is the most extraordinary punter, and what a day he had, today, averaging 48.5 yds. per punt and drilling the ball deep without going in the end zone, time after time, punt after punt.

It was announced after the Music City Bowl that Jack Campbell's grandfather had passed away Friday night.  Campbell's family waited to after Saturday's game to tell Jack, so that he could play his last game as a Hawkeye with a clear mind.   I am still confused about the details how he died, something about an accident while jaywalking in Nashville, and he was rushed to Vanderbilt Hospital where he passed away.

Seth Anderson (WR) who was no-stars on Rivals out of high school in 2021, is transferring from FCS Charleston Southern to Iowa. He will be a sophomore and had an outstanding season.

  • 42 Catches
  • 628 Yards
  • 14.9 YPR
  • 7 Touchdowns

Big South Offensive Player of The Year
Nico Ragaini (WR) is returning for a 6th year.
With the loss of Kadyn Proctor, Iowa still needs help from the transfer portal at (OT).
If Iowa can pick-up some good O-Linemen, and if Iowa were to terminate B. Ferentz, or demote B. Ferentz to O-Line coach, I could become very optimistic about 2023.
