per Hawk Central:
A true freshman starting quarterback is like dangling red meat in front of an Iowa defense hungry for turnovers.
That’s the storyline Saturday when Minnesota (3-1, 0-1 Big Ten Conference) will send Zack Annexstad out for his fifth career start against a Hawkeye team playing its first road game. Kickoff is at 2:30 p.m. on BTN. The winner gets the Floyd of Rosedale Trophy and its first conference win.
Annexstad threw the first two interceptions of his career in his last game, a 42-13 loss at Maryland two weeks ago. He also lost a fumble and was sacked four times. It was a rough Big Ten debut for the Minnesota native.
“Zack wasn’t able to get out of the pocket with his ankle (injury),” Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck said. “They knew that and they kept him in the pocket, and he had no place to escape or step up.”
That’s one plan of attack for Iowa (3-1, 0-1). The Hawkeyes are rotating eight defensive linemen in an effort to keep their motors high, and they have responded with 11 sacks and a pair of fumbles. The Gophers started five freshmen on offense against Maryland, including right guard Blaise Andries. That’s a matchup the Hawkeyes should win.
