Iowa heads to face No. 20 Washington in a college football Week 6 game on Friday, October 9. Quarterback Hank Brown was flagged as uncertain before the game. Coach Kirk Ferentz made clear to his squad not to count on Brown being available. Iowa has since announced its starter at quarterback.

Washington welcomes Iowa as the 20th-ranked Huskies. The uncertain quarterback situation adds genuine doubt to how Iowa plans to move the ball against a ranked team on the road.
