Head Coach Kirk Ferentz held his weekly presser today, and what did we learn? The Hawks have a lot of injuries on their hands.

Wide-receiver Andy Brodell is lost for the season with a torn hamstring, Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz said Tuesday. Tight end Tony Moeaki also is out for a while after suffering a dislocated elbow and a broken hand.

Brutal. So, let's have a recap: Iowa has already lost their only playmaker on the outside, Dominique Douglas, and now it's their Alamo-Bowl-Record-Setting stud Brodell. What a bad time to be a Iowa receiver. Without a doubt though, the loss of Moeaki hurts the most because he was Christensen's #1 target. Just the sound of a dislocated elbow sends chills up the spine. Might be a little bit before he's back catching footballs.
