Iowa senior quarterback Mark Gronowski left Saturday afternoon’s clash against No. 11 Indiana in the fourth quarter due to a knee injury. He was replaced by quarterback Hank Brown, who ran the offense for the final three drives.

Following the disappointing 20-15 loss, Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz gave an update on Gronowski’s health. Prior to exiting the game, the transfer quarterback completed 19/25 passes for 144 yards and no touchdowns. He did throw an interception.

“Other than you know, he came out of the tent,” Ferentz said. “He couldn’t decelerate. That was the issue. Some positive feedback, but we’ll look at testing tomorrow and see where we’re at. Then we’ll know more.”
