IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Outside of senior Matt VandeBerg, Iowas wide receivers have been mostly disappointing this season.The Hawkeyes likely wont be able to overcome the struggles of that unit much longer after losing VandeBerg to an injury.VandeBerg hurt his right foot in a non-contact drill during practice on Monday. Coach Kirk Ferentz said Tuesday that VandeBerg is out indefinitely that Iowa would look into the possibility of a medical redshirt if he cant return in 2016.VandeBerg caught a team-high 19 passes for 284 yards and three touchdowns through four games, including a seven-reception performance in a blowout win over Iowa State.You cant really describe how much he means to our team, running back LeShun Daniels Jr. said. With him not being out there, its just a different feel.The loss of VandeBerg, quarterback C.J. Beathards most trusted option in the passing game, could end up being a big blow to an offense that has scored just 35 points in its last two games. The Hawkeyes (3-1) host Northwestern (1-3) on Saturday.Even when VandeBerg was around to draw the opposing defenses attention, Iowas receivers still struggled to get open.Sophomore Jerminic Smith has seven catches for 97 yards and a touchdown. Jay Scheel, a four-star recruit who made the transition from high school quarterback, battled injuries through camp and earlier this season. Hes caught just one pass, a 12-yarder, in his first season as a contributor.Senior Riley McCarron has earned Ferentzs repeated praise for his improvement. McCCarron is averaging just 18.dddddddddddd8 yards receiving per game though, and hes hardly considered the kind of player that defenses have to game plan for.But Ferentz said he expects VandeBergs teammates to make up for his absence.This is hardly a crisis stage. I mean, were all really sorry Matt got hurt. Dont get me wrong. Im not minimizing that. But hey, were going to play, Ferentz said.Iowa also have some options in the passing game beyond its receivers.Tight end George Kittle has blossomed from a blocker capable of making the occasional big play to a crucial piece of the offense. He has 191 yards receiving, including a 36-yard TD catch in last weeks ugly 14-7 win at Rutgers.Akrum Wadley, who shares running back duties with Daniels, has proven he can be a receiving threat out of the backfield, as evidenced by a 26-yard touchdown catch in that win over the Cyclones.But Iowa will be in big trouble if its young receivers cant make their opponents respect them. That could allow defenses to focus on stopping Iowas running game.Beathard said he intends to put his trust in his young receivers.Its tough to tell right now who will go in there. Im sure well try some things out, Beathard said. It doesnt matter if hes a young or an old guy. You have to go out there with the mentality that hes going to be in the right place at the right time.---Online: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
