Iowa travels to play No. 20 Washington in a college football Week 6 game on Friday, October 9. Quarterback Hank Brown was listed as questionable before the game. Coach Kirk Ferentz made clear to his squad not to count on Brown being available. Iowa has since announced its starter at quarterback.

Washington welcomes Iowa as the 20th-ranked Huskies. The uncertain quarterback situation adds genuine doubt to how Iowa intends to attack downfield against a ranked team on the road.
