Campbell says the key will be how much progress is made between now and fall camp.


Campbell was impressed with the play of quarterback Jacob Park, who completed 7-of-12 passes for 97 yards.


Joel Lanning continued to impress after moving from quarterback to middle linebacker. The native of Ankeny intercepted a pass and returned it 37 yards for a touchdown.
