Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz will have two weeks to mull over his quarterback situation. The Hawkeyes have this week off after grinding out a 24-10 win at Purdue. It was another ugly start for the offense as quarterback C.J. Beathard opened the scoring by throwing a 39 yard interception that was returned for a touchdown and that was followed by a string of dropped passes.

But after falling behind 10-0, Iowa scored the final 24 points of the game as they improved to 4-1 on the season. they return to action in two weeks by hosting Indiana.
