PASADENA, CALIFORNIA – University of Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz announced Sunday that senior tight end Jake Duzey will not participate in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1 when the Hawkeyes (12-1) meet Stanford (11-2). Duzey re-injured his knee during practice on Friday. Duzey had seen limited action in nine games after suffering a major injury during spring drills.
“We all feel badly for Jake and the fact that this injury will keep him from playing in the game,” said Ferentz. “Jake has worked extremely hard since his initial injury in the spring, and has contributed to the success of our season in a number of ways.”
The Rose Bowl will be played Jan. 1, with a start time of 4:10 p.m. CT. The contest will air on ESPN.
