Without graduate quarterback Cade McNamara and redshirt freshman signal-caller Marco Lainez, Iowa had to turn to redshirt sophomore quarterback Jackson Stratton after junior quarterback Brendan Sullivan exited with an ankle injury. After the loss, Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz updated Sullivan’s injury status.

Iowa’s loss to UCLA ensured that Kirk Ferentz will have to wait until 2025 to break Woody Hayes’ record for overall wins as a Big Ten member.

Iowa dropped a stinker on Friday night in its 20-17 loss at UCLA. Though UCLA entered having won back-to-back games and playing its best football of the season, no one could have foreseen just how lackluster Iowa would ultimately look.
