Kirk Ferentz held his annual press conference yesterday.
Bryan Bulaga did not practice yesterday and it appears he will be a late week or even a game-time decision. The preseason All-American did not play last Saturday against Iowa State but is listed as a starter for the Arizona game.
"We'll know tomorrow and more on Thursday and right on through," Ferentz said. "He had an illness and they're doing checks right now. It's just a matter of meeting certain levels and getting OK's to move forward." (hawkeyesports.com)
Bulaga's absence went virtually unnoticed against the Cyclones as Iowa racked up 426 total yards - 191 of which came on the ground - in the 35-3 drubbing of ISU.
Cornerback Greg Castillo is also listed as day-to-day.
As for preparing for the Wildcats, Ferentz and defensive coordinator Norm Parker have probably lost sleep this week trying to prepare for Arizona running back Nic Grigsby.
Grigsby, the nation's second-leading rusher, has racked up 325 yards on just 38 carries (an average of 8.6 yards per carry) in the Wildcats' first two games.
Arizona quarterback Matt Scott has been solid this year, as well. The sophomore signal caller from Corona, Calif., has connected on 33-of-50 passes for 352 yards and a touchdown. Scott is also second on the team in rushing, tallying 131 yards on 16 carries. He has, however, thrown two interceptions and Saturday will be his first career start on the road.
