Spencer Petras provides thoughts on Brian Ferentz working with QBs
Iowa offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz is the son of head coach Kirk Ferentz. Along with his duties as offensive coordinator, he also works with a position group. 2022 marks his first season working with the quarterbacks. Now, veteran quarterback Spencer Petras gave his thoughts on Ferentz while speaking to the media.
“I really enjoy having Brian as the quarterbacks coach,” Spencer Petras said. “I think it’s helpful for a quarterback to spend as much time with the offensive coordinator as possible and just be able to really get inside his brain and what he’s thinking at all times. So, I think it’s been positive so far.”

Hopefully, for Spencer Petras and the Iowa offense, the move holds up over time. The Hawkeyes struggled offensively in 2021, only scoring 23 points a game in Big Ten play. In Iowa’s three Big Ten losses, the Hawkeyes scored seven or fewer points.
Spencer Petras returns with the most experience on Iowa, but Alex Padilla is going to be right behind him to push for the starting role throughout the season.

Athlon ranked Spencer Petra among all college QBs
Ahead of the 2022 season, Athlon announced their ranking of every starting quarterback in college football. That included Spencer Petras, who was ranked 95th out of 131 quarterbacks.
“Although the Hawkeyes won the Big Ten’s West Division, this unit averaged only 23 points and 4.5 yards per play in conference action,” Steven Lassan wrote for Athlon. “Both Petras and Alex Padilla saw significant snaps under center last fall, but neither played well enough to stake a clear claim for the job. Petras held an edge in completion percentage (57.3 to 49.1) and led the team with 1,880 passing yards and 10 touchdowns.”
