Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz answers a question during a joint coaches press conference for the 2022 TransPerfect Music City Bowl at Gaylord Resort and Convention Center in Nashville on Friday, Dec. 30, 2022. During the press conference, reporters asked Ferentz about quarterback Joe Labas. “I’m not sure we've ever gone into a game where our one and twos are gone, not in the roster,” Ferentz said. “Fortunately we had an extended period here. I think the last two weeks Joe has really done a lot of good things. Seems like he's more comfortable. All that being said, it's going to be his first play in college football…. He's a competitor, he's tough. I'm sure he's going to do a great job for us.”
