Spencer Petras receives warm reception during Iowa’s Senior Day introductions
Published:
Spencer Petras had to deal with adversity this season at Iowa. The fans at Kinnick Stadium let him know how much they have appreciated his efforts throughout the years at Senior Day.
The Iowa offense struggled earlier in the year and got off to a slow start. At one point this season, the Hawkeyes were in danger of not making a bowl game. Iowa enters Friday’s game with a four-game win streak and a 7-4 record.
Petras received a very warm welcome when he and his parents met at midfield as a part of the Senior Day festivities. The Iowa QB got a standing ovation from the crowd. Petras may not have had the greatest of seasons in his final year, but Iowa fans love him just the same.
Petras has 5 touchdowns with 1,716 yards passing coming into the Nebraska game.
