Someone else is going to take a chance on former Iowa running back Dana Brown, who was kicked off the team in October after being arrested for domestic assault. Brown has landed at Youngstown State University, where he’ll be a junior next season for the Football Championship Subdivision program. The Penguins open the 2008 season at Ohio State.

The 5-10, 203-pound Brown played in two games for the Hawkeyes, totaling 16 yards on four carries and scoring a touchdown. He might have figured into the mix next fall as Iowa returns only one scholarship running back off last year’s team. But Brown was arrested twice over the summer for shoplifting and then again midseason for allegedly abusing his girlfriend. He was kicked off the team the next day.

Also, Adam Farnsworth, a walk-on quarterback at Iowa the past two seasons has transferred to Wagner College in Staten Island, N.Y. He’ll have two years of eligibilty remaining. He left Iowa in good standing.
