Iowa offensive lineman Josh Koeppel was involved in a motorcycle accident Monday morning and will likely not be available to play in the Hawkeyes’ opener.
Based on a very brief video clip from the dashboard of a police cruiser of what’s purported to be the accident, Koeppel is lucky he’ll be available for any games in the future.
Koeppel, who was not wearing a helmet, miraculously suffered only scrapes, bruises and soreness in his one-sided confrontation with Ford F-150.
“We’re not going to take any crazy chances,” head coach Kirk Ferentz said of the lineman’s availability for the Eastern Illinois opener. “From what I’ve heard, he’s probably fortunate it was not more extensive. It’s one thing to play football, it’s another to take on a pickup truck.”
The senior is listed as the co-starter at center along with the coach’s son James Ferentz.
