Guessing CM is out this week because of concussion protocol. He took a nasty hit that resulted in a roughing penalty on Northwestern.

 
Injury Updates:

Luke Lachey (quad) is expected to be OUT
against the Badgers but could return next Friday at UCLA. It's the quad injury Lachey suffered against Northwestern that's continuing to linger.

As a result, Zach Ortwerth will start at tight end. Johnny Pascuzzi, Hayden Large and Andrew Lentsch could provide depth.

Iowa's QB depth continues to thin:
* Cade McNamara OUT with a concussion

* Marco Lainez OUT with a broken left thumb (happened in practice Monday). Lainez has already had surgery and is expected to miss the rest of the regular season. A bowl-game return is possible.

* Jackson Stratton is the official backup to Brendan Sullivan tonight.

 
Watched some of the Vandenberg podcast deal. Former Iowa WR and his hot wife who does the in game stuff. They had Quinn Schulte on one and he said he tries to avoid Phil Parker on Fridays and pregame on Saturdays because he is so intense. Vandeberg was like I think he has softened up a lot since he was in school. He said back then he was that way all week.

Lachey was out there pregame moving around a bit, but to me it looked like he still had a bit of a limp going.

With no depth at QB, it would take just a few minutes of practice time to be prepared for disaster with Johnson and/or Wetjen taking snaps. It would require no install of new blocking schemes.

Sully looks pretty durable. At the same time, I would imagine Lester is competent enough to have Stratton ready to go. We know Brian would be at a complete loss. ;) And I am guessing Cade will be cleared to play as QB2 this week...we'll see....
 
Yeah, Matt landed a beauty.
They had Ben Keuter on that podcast. Ben said he grew up buddies with one of Dan Gable's grandsons and they obviously both wrestled. They ended up sharing a rental property (owned by Dan Gable) right next to Dan Gable's house and they would go over to his house and Dan would put them through workouts and wrestling matches. He said you never knew what he was going to make you do and some of them were hard as hell.
