The No. 20 Iowa Hawkeyes head to Husky Stadium on Friday night to face a motivated Washington Huskies squad trying to avoid an 0-3 start in the Big Ten. The Hawkeyes (4-1, 1-1) look to bounce back from a 31-14 home loss to Ohio State, their first setback of the season. Quarterback Hank Brown is questionable with an AC joint sprain, so backup Jeremy Hecklinski could make his first significant road start. The Hawkeyes still have the defense that has carried them, allowing just 12.6 ppg. Washington (3-2, 0-2) is paced by QB Demond Williams Jr., who has thrown for 1,327 yards with eight TDs, but the Huskies QBs have been sacked 13 times.
