Iowa City — University of Iowa junior quarterback Spencer Petras has been named to the Davey O’Brien Award Great 8 for his play in Iowa’s 51-14 win at Maryland Friday evening.
The award is the first for Petras, who is now on the midseason Watch List for the 2021 Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award.
Petras became the first Iowa quarterback to throw and rush for multiple touchdowns in a game since Brad Banks against Minnesota in 2002.
He’ll get his chance to shine in the national spotlight this Saturday when the Hawkeyes play host to No. 4 Penn State.
Kick is set for 3:00 p.m. and you can listen on FM 105.5.
