IOWA CITY, Iowa – It’s always a pleasure to speak with Don Patterson about Hawkeye football, but especially after a victory.

That was the case on this Monday with Iowa having defeated Northwestern 40-14 this past Saturday at Kinnick Stadium.

Patterson, a former Iowa assistant for 20 seasons under Hayden Fry, looks back at the win over Northwestern and forward to this coming Saturday’s game against Wisconsin at Kinnick Stadium.

He also breaks down the situation at quarterback where Brendan Sullivan replaced Cade McNamara early in the second quarter against Northwestern and Sullivan would go on to play for the rest of the game.

The question now is who starts at quarterback against the Badgers?

Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz might have an answer in his weekly press conference on Tuesday, or he might say a decision still hasn’t been made.

It also could come down to whether McNamara will be available for Saturday’s game against the Badgers since he took some big hits against Northwestern.

Patterson also shares two predictions that he made last Wednesday after attending Iowa’s practice that would go on to happen in the Northwestern game.

Don Patterson appears each Monday during the Iowa football season at 9 a.m. on the KCJJ/Hawk Fanatic radio show and podcast.

His segments usually last for about one hour.

Don was also the head coach for Western Illinois from 1999 to 2009 and a former assistant coach for UConn and Buffalo.

We always look forward to his unique insights, and his analytics.
