42-0

On this Saturday afternoon in Kinnick Stadium, the ever-popular 2nd string QB was cheered as Ricky Stanzi led the Hawkeyes to a 42-0 win. While he and former first-teamer, Jake Christensen's stats were very similar, many on hand could see a different Iowa Football team when Stanzi led the offense as compared to a more lacklaster performance with Christensen.

While Maine and Florida International aren't the powers of their respective conferences, the two wins allowed the Hawkeyes to play many players and gain valuable experience in preparation for the Big Ten season and upcoming games with Iowa State and Pitt. The exhibition season is now over and games that mean a little more begin. Next week is Iowa State--a game which the Hawkeyes should be ready for as they have lost 6 of their last 9 in the series.
