[NU Sports] Kafka to play against Iowa

[Jonathan Hodges]

Yes, in Fitz's press conference on Monday and the Big Ten press conference
yesterday, Fitz confirmed that "Kafka is expected to play" on Saturday.  It
said he's really day to day but has been improving each day since the game.

Like you mentioned, hamstring injuries can linger for a while, and I would
imagine we will see Persa out there at least some of the time this week.
Kafka is obviously the heart of the offense this year (he has accounted for
over 70% of NU's total offense and over 60% of the offensive TDs), so
hopefully he can go - and maybe some time with the first team will help
Persa as well.

In any case, Iowa will definitely be a tough test.  I think NU can give them
a run for their money, at the very least.
