With EA Sports ‘College Football 27’ just a few days away from its worldwide release, the time has almost arrived for Iowa fans to hop on the sticks.
The Hawkeyes possess a deep roster in the game this year, with some serious talent at the top. With a couple of stars on the offensive line, a good running back room, and one of the best tight ends in the game, Iowa’s offense could be fun to play with. The big question in the game is the same one being asked in real life. How will the quarterbacks play?
Iowa will roll with one of Hank Brown or Jeremy Hecklinski next season. Neither quarterback has started a game with the Hawkeyes yet. It’s the most inexperienced quarterback room in the Big Ten Conference. ‘College Football 27’ also recognizes that, which was reflected in its ratings of the signal callers in the conference.
Here’s a look at the ratings for every Big Ten starting quarterback in the game, from highest to lowest.
‘College Football 27’ Big Ten QB Ratings
Iowa has the worst Big Ten quarterback situation in the game at the moment. The goal for Hecklinski and/or Brown will be to make sure that EA Sports has to make big adjustments to those ratings during the season. The room for growth is there. Now the pressure is on to show that growth when the season kicks off in a few months.
