(Radio Iowa) – The Iowa Hawkeyes are preparing for their October 24th season opener at Purdue. It will be the debut of sophomore quarterback Spencer Petras (pee-triss), who takes over for three-year starter Nate Stanley.

Petras takes over an experienced Iowa offense that returns several playmakers.

With most of the starters returning from the offense from last year’s team that finished 10-3 expectations are high.
