IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Iowa senior cornerback Micah Hyde is listed as a starter for Saturday’s game at Michigan State despite being arrested over the weekend.  The 21-year-old Hyde was booked early Saturday morning at an Iowa City bar on suspicion of public intoxication and interference with official acts.  Tight end Ray Hamilton and offensive lineman Drew Clark were also arrested in separate alcohol-related incidents, which came during the team’s bye week.

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said in a statement released Saturday that he was disappointed because all three players have been “good citizens” during their time in our program. Ferentz said the Hawkeyes will follow protocol set by the school’s student-athlete code of conduct and take additional measures internally.  Hamilton is also listed on this week’s depth chart as a backup.
