College career

[edit]

2012 season

Beathardredshirtedduring hisfreshman yearatIowa.[5]

2013 season

[edit]

In the2013 season,Beathard appeared in a limited role in five games for the Hawkeyes. On September 21, he made his collegiate debut against theWestern Michigan Broncos,where he had a 54-yard completion and four rushes for 30 yards.[6]On November 9, against thePurdue Boilermakers,he had his first career collegiate touchdown on a five-yard rush.[7]He added another rushing touchdown in his next appearance against theNebraska Cornhuskerson a four-yard rush.[8]In theOutback Bowlagainst theLSU Tigers,he threw his first career touchdown pass to teammate Kevonte Martin-Manley in the fourth quarter of the 21–14 loss.[9]Overall, in the 2013 season, Beathard had 179 passing yards, one touchdown, two interceptions, 49 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns.[10]

2014 season

[edit]

Beathard continued his role as a backup in the2014 season.In the first half against thePittsburgh Panthers,starterJake Rudocksuffered a minor injury and Beathard took the field to begin the second half, with the Hawkeyes trailing 17–7.[11]While Pitt had been dominant throughout much of the first half, the team gained a new energy in the second half with Beathard under center. Beathard would take the Hawkeyes to a 24–20 victory.[11]

After a last-minute loss to non-conference in-state rivalIowa State Cyclones,[12]who would eventually go 2–10 (winless in conference play),[13]fans in the community were vocal with their criticisms of the Iowa coaching staff, citing the conservative play calling, unused potential of players, and the apparent apathy ofhead coachKirk Ferentz.Ferentz was in his 16th year of coaching the Hawkeyes, and his contract as head coach was guaranteed until 2020, an extension offered after their2010 Orange Bowl victoryagainst theGeorgia Tech Yellow Jacketswhen the Hawkeyes finished their season 11–2. Iowa fans were impressed by Beathard's energy against Pitt, and his comeback victory sparked debate about his position as a starter.

Beathard started the following game against thePurdue Boilermakers,where Iowa won 24–10.[14]Following their bye week, Rudock was declared healthy by Ferentz, and returned as a starter against theIndiana Hoosiers,where they won 45–29.[15]Fan criticism of the program continued throughout the season, as the team continued to lose against the better part of their schedule.[15]

Beathard against theWisconsin Badgersin 2015

The criticism, informally called the "Iowa quarterback controversy", revolved primarily around Beathard being the deserving man of the starting spot, while some fervent fans called for the firing of Ferentz.[16]The public criticism of the coaching staff was so strong that Iowa athletic director [Gary Barta] spoke publicly on multiple occasions in support of Ferentz[17]in regards to the issue.

With Rudock at the helm for the remainder of the season, Iowa would go on to defeat theNorthwestern Wildcatsby a surprisingly large margin in a 48–7 home victory but was defeated in an equally grand way at theMinnesota Golden Gophersthe following week, losing 51–14.[18][19]TheWisconsin Badgersand theNebraska Cornhuskers,conference rivals and two of the toughest games on Iowa's 2014 schedule, came toKinnick Stadiumin the final two games of the regular season. Wisconsin, with Heisman runner-up halfbackMelvin Gordon,avoided an upset and defeated Iowa 26–24; the Hawkeyes came up short against Nebraska as well, losing in overtime, 37–34, after blowing a 17-point lead.

Iowa received a bid to theTaxSlayer Bowlagainst theTennessee Volunteers,and pressure from fans and the media left the Iowa coaching staff uncertain and the need to make a solid decision. Beathard's father,Casey Beathard,made statements toThe Tennessean,a local Tennessee media outlet, stating that his future would be evaluated after the game, and that "he's hoping he doesn't have to transfer".[20]Though taken out of context by media, Beathard Sr. affirmed that it was not a threat of transfer;[21]regardless, Ferentz made an announcement shortly before gameday stating that both quarterbacks would take snaps during the game, hinting at an on-field competition for the spot.

Both Rudock and Beathard took snaps during theTaxSlayer Bowl,and the Hawkeyes lost 45–28 to Tennessee. The Volunteers got off to a large start; both Rudock and Beathard had poor drives during the first half, but Beathard handled the majority of second-half snaps. Beathard was able to rally the Hawkeyes from a 35–7 first-half deficit, though they were not able to win the game.[22]

Shortly after the TaxSlayer Bowl loss, Kirk Ferentz released a depth chart for the following 2015 season — a very irregular time for a coach to do so — which named Beathard the starting quarterback for the 2015 season.[23]Rudock, who in 2014 was a senior and preparing to graduate, had been being recruited by new Michigan coachJim Harbaugh;and, after Beathard was officially named next season's starter, Rudock transferred to theUniversity of Michiganfor graduate study and for his one year of graduate eligibility.[24]

2015 season

[edit]

Beathard helped lead the2015 Iowa Hawkeyes football teamto an undefeated 12–0 record during the regular season, as he passed for 2,570 yards, 14 touchdowns, and three interceptions.[25]He was selected by both the coaches and media as a second-team player on the2015 All-Big Ten Conference football team.[26]The Hawkeyes' winning streak came to an end in the 16–13 loss to theMichigan State Spartansin the Big Ten Championship. Beathard passed for 216 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the loss.[27]In theRose Bowlagainst theStanford Cardinal,Beathard passed for 239 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in the 45–16 loss.[28]

2016 season

[edit]

In his final season with the Hawkeyes, Beathard helped lead the team to an 8–4 record in the regular season.[29]The team qualified for theOutback Bowlagainst theFlorida Gators.The Gators won by a score of 30–3 in Beathard's final collegiate game.[30]Overall, in the 2016 season, Beathard had 1,929 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions.[31]
