FSU and Iowa Lose Quarterbacks Sportsbooks Online. Sportsbooks online have Florida State and Iowa without their starting quarterbacks for the rest of the regular season. Florida State will be without Christian Ponder after he separated his right shoulder while Iowa will be without Ricky Stanzi who had ankle surgery. The Seminoles and Hawkeyes could be two go-against teams at the offshore sportsbook.
Sportsbooks online have Iowa as a huge underdog this week at Ohio State. With Stanzi it is possible the Hawkeyes may have had a chance to cover the odds at the offshore sportsbook. Without him they are 17 point underdogs in sportsbook online action at the offshore sportsbook. FSU is in even worse shape since they weren’t very good to begin with. Now the Seminoles have to start redshirt freshman E.J. Manuel in this week’s sportsbooks online game at Wake Forest. “It’s a shame, but it’s part of ball,” Florida State offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher said. “You always know you’re one play away from being in there.” Ponder was ranked No. 17 in the nation in passing efficiency. Florida State may have its first losing season since 1976. They have three games left as sportsbooks online indicate and must win two of the three just to get to 6-6.
Iowa was a national title contender until Stanzi got hurt last week and the team lost to Northwestern in odds at the offshore sportsbook. While Stanzi’s numbers were not very good, he at least could make plays to win games. It now seems unlikely the Hawkeyes can win this week in sportsbooks online action at Ohio State without Stanzi. Iowa is hoping that Stanzi can return for their bowl game. Stanzi suffered a severe ankle sprain in the sportsbooks online loss to Northwestern and had surgery this week. “It is correct that he had surgery,” head coach Kirk Ferentz said. “We think he’s going to be just fine. It’s very, very doubtful that he’ll play the next two weeks, but we’re very, very confident that he’ll return shortly thereafter.” FSU
Stanzi had thrown for 2,186 yards with 15 touchdowns and 14 interceptions this sportsbooks online season. The key for Iowa though was that Stanzi had brought the team back to win eight times this season when they were trailing. Redshirt freshman James Vandenberg will start this sportsbooks online week at Ohio State. That sportsbooks online game will probably decide the Big 10 title and a berth in the Rose Bowl and it looks bad for Iowa in sportsbooks online with a redshirt freshman at quarterback.
