Iowa State to play its starting quarterback

Tuesday, November 3, 2009

Iowa State junior quarterback Austen Arnaud missed the team’s past two games with a bruised hand, but coach Paul Rhoads said in the Big 12’s weekly teleconference Monday that he would return to start this weekend against Oklahoma State.

Rhoads also said that he was close to playing Arnaud last weekend.

“But there was just enough velocity that was off that he would not have been in a good position to help us win the football game,” Rhoads said.

Freshman replacement Jerome Tiller rushed for a touchdown in the Cyclones’ 35-10 loss against Texas A&M but also threw two interceptions. Rhoads said that he thought the interceptions were good passes but that the athletic Texas A&M defense made good plays on the ball.

Rhoads said Arnaud did not practice much last week because the coaching staff was worried that the swelling in his hand would flare back up.

“He’s grasping the ball fine and we expect him to do a normal amount of practice this week,” Rhoads said.

Arnaud has thrown seven touchdowns and tossed just one interception in his last five games.
