VANDENBERG IS PLAYER OF THE WEEKJunior QB James Vandenberg was named Big Ten Conference offensive Player of

the Week for his play in leading Iowa to a 31-27 win over Pittsburgh. The Big Ten honor is the fi rst for Vandenberg and Iowa’s fi rst Player of the week honor in 2011.

Vandenberg (6-3, 212) is a native of Keokuk, Iowa and the fi rst native Iowan to start at quarterback for the Hawkeyes since 2001. He led Iowa’s second half rally against Pittsburgh, rushing for one touchdown and throwing three touchdown passes in the fi nal 17 minutes. His fi nal pass was a 22-yard scoring strike to WR Kevonte Martin-Manley with 2:51 remaining, giving Iowa its fi nal 31-27 advantage. He had touchdown passes of 14 and 25 yards earlier in the fourth period.

His totals against Pitt included 31-48 passes for 399 yards and three touchdowns, with one interception. He completed 10 consecutive passes during one stretch of the second half and completed 17 of his last 20 attempts in reaching career-bests in completions, attempts, passing yards and touchdowns. He had a one-yard touch-down plunge in the third period and a 15 yard rush on Iowa’s game-winning drive.

Vandenberg’s 399 passing yards ties as the seventh best single-game total in school history, while the 31 completions rank fourth best and the 48 attempts tie as the seventh highest total.

Voting closes at 9 p.m. CT Thursday for the Manning Award Player of the Week. The award was established by the Allstate Sugar Bowl in 2004.

FERENTZ JOINS CHALLENGEIowa Coach Kirk Ferentz and Iowa State Coach Paul Rhoads

have joined forces with the Iowa Mentoring Partnership for the 2011 Coaches’ Challenge. The Coaches’ Challenge runs from Aug. 1-Nov. 21 and is a competition between Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas to see which state can recruit the most mentors.

For three years, Kansas and Nebraska have competed in a “Coaches Mentoring Challenge”, with Bo Pelini (Nebraksa), Bill Snyder (Kansas State) and Turner Gill (Kansas) taking part in the competition. Ferentz and Rhoads have joined the competition this season.

According to The National Mentoring Partnership, there are 15 million children in the nation in need of caring and quality mentors. In Iowa, it is estimated that nearly 5,000 young people are currently in need of a mentor. Many of these children and youth are young men who would strongly benefi t from a positive male role model. The Iowa Mentoring Partnership, an initiative of the Iowa Commission on Volun-teer Service, upholds the commission’s mission to “improve lives, strengthen communities and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering” by supporting quality mentoring services and by working to close the mentoring gap in our state.

The Iowa Mentoring Partnership currently supports a net-work of more than 80 local, certifi ed mentoring programs.

Any new mentor application received between Aug. 1-Nov. 21 will count towards the score of the respective state, with cumulative totals updated each month.
