Get Your First Look At The New Iowa Hawkeye Football Team On Saturday

For the third consecutive spring, the University of Iowa football team will hold an open practice at Valley Stadium in West Des Moines. The open practice will take place on Saturday, April 11, starting at 12:30 p.m. West and Southeast gates at Valley Stadium will open at 11:30 a.m. Tickets are not required for the event.

For Iowa Hawkeyes Fans, this will be your first look at Iowa's new starting QB C.J. Beathard. Iowa's starter at QB the last 2 years was Jake Rudock, but he announced earlier this year that he would be transferring to play elsewhere. It was announced officially on Thursday that Rudock is transferring to Big Ten foe Michigan. Iowa doesn't play Michigan during the regular season and the only way the 2 team could meet is if both win their divisions and would meet for the Big Ten Championship in December.

The Hawkeyes will conclude their spring practice with an open practice in Kinnick Stadium on Saturday, April 25 (1 p.m.).

Iowa opens the 2015 season Sept. 5, hosting Illinois State.
