Is anyone in the Big Ten going to pass Ohio State in 2009?

"Yet another BCS berth isn't out of the question coming out of the mediocre

even that's too much to ask." -

  2. Illinois

  3. Michigan State

In 2008, Iowa had a two man race at quarterback, opening the season alternating between two quarterbacks until one emerged, after the Northwestern game... it was clear Ricky Stanzi was in and 2007 starter Jake Christensen was out.

Christensen completed his degree at the University of Iowa after the 2008 season. With one season of eligibility remaining, the former Iowa quarterback has transferred to Eastern Illinois University, his father's alma mater to compete for the quarterback position and attend graduate school.
