"He'll practice this week," Ferentz said. "He worked out Saturday and yesterday, so he's ready to go."
As Iowa continues to stretch out the paper-thin depth chart, junior Bradley Fletcher will replace Shada at cornerback Saturday, while true freshman Jacody Coleman is listed as the starter in place of Klinkenborg. The Hawkeyes will also be without senior free safety Devan Moylan for the fifth time this season.
Redshirt freshman Brett Greenwood will remain Moylan's starting replacement.
Sutton calls Iowa a "vanilla team"
Finally healthy following an injury that kept him out of five games this season, senior Northwestern tailback Tyrell Sutton rushed for 72 yards against Purdue last weekend. And on Monday, he offered the Hawkeyes some serious bulletin board material leading up to Saturday's Big Ten matchup.
According to an article published Tuesday in The Daily Herald in Chicago, Sutton called Iowa a "vanilla team" during an interview Monday.
Having defeated the Hawkeyes back-to-back years, including a 21-7 drubbing last season at Kinnick Stadium, the article notes that Sutton claimed he was referring to Iowa's "steadfast philosophy."
That explanation likely won't make it to Hayden Fry Football Complex this week; Iowa needs to win two of its last three games to become bowl-eligible for a seventh-straight season.
Ferentz offers congrats
Ferentz started his opening statement Tuesday by offering his congratulations to Klinkenborg, who last week was awarded an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship with his selection as a 2007 National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete.
The fifth Hawkeye player to ever earn such accolade, Klinkenborg automatically became a finalist for the Draddy Trophy with his selection as a National Scholar-Athlete.
The coach said that the honor was especially impressive considering the barriers the senior has faced this season.
"[Defensive coordinator] Norm Parker took credit, so that was a reflection of his coach, and my response to Mike was it just makes it even that much more impressive that he could overcome Norm's influence," Ferentz joked.
