The Week Eight depth chart for Iowa versus Penn State is similar to Week Seven

Whatever magic touch Iowa Head Coach Kirk Ferentz added to the depth chart last week needed to be repeated this week.

The Hawkeyes went into Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin, after a bye week, and completely dominated all three phases of the game.

After a slow start for the offense, the Hawkeyes' defense forced three turnovers, suffocating the anemic Badgers' offense as Iowa left Madison with a 37-0 win, their second in Big Ten play.

Iowa starting quarterback Mark Gronowski had an average day after returning from a left knee injury. The big story was backup Jeremy Hecklinski getting put into the game in garbage time, not Hank Brown.

Hecklinski has been the third-string quarterback for most of the season, but he carried an "or" designation alongside fellow backup Hank Brown and entered the game when it was out of reach.

The Week Eight depth chart is similar to the Week Seven depth chart, with a few different designations, and starting wide receiver Reece Vander Zee returning to the official depth chart.

Vander Zee has been out with a foot injury since the beginning of the season, but made his return to the field last week.

In limited action, Vander Zee hauled in three passes for 29 yards and was tied for the team lead in targets with four. He is now listed as a backup wide receiver heading into this weekend.

Running backs Jaziun Patterson and Terrell Washington Jr. remain sidelined with injuries, providing more opportunities for the dynamic freshmen duo of Xavier Williams and Nathan McNeil as backups to Kamari Moulton.

Quarterback Jeremy Hecklinski continues to impress the coaching staff, and has supplanted Hank Brown as the backup quarterback, no longer carrying an "or" designation.

As the Hawkeyes welcome a reeling Penn State squad to Kinnick, the depth chart remains similar to last week's following the squad's success against Wisconsin.
