Good post. Spot on. The best plays were when JVB was forced to run, and that is sad. He ain't no Denard Robinson.

How..... ......can a dismal Purdue offense nearly triple out offense output ........can Marve playing with ACL throw 25 for 33 and out play our one and only college ready QB. .......a RB who only gained 115 yards so far this season, put 102 on us ......CJF potentially leaving early for NFL...

The bland uniforms are a reflection of Ferentz's bland personality and the bland offense he runs.

Mr Davis is just here temporarily until Brian Ferentz is trained to be the new OC. In about 2 more seasons Brian will certainly drink enough of the Ferentz kool-aid and will be ready as far as Kirk is concerned, and James will have certainly have had enough time to be a grad assistant somewhere...

Does this mean that Jake Rudock or any other QB will not be "key contributor" next year??

He did perform better, but still pretty average IMO. Keep in mind NW is one of the weakest secondaries in the conference and 2 starters were out. A good fifth year senior QB should have shredded them up. Also the 2 scores in the second half were made possible by the PI penalty and the...

HILARIOUS!! "...sure it is uncomfortable.....my sister could tell you that...but hey, that's just jock itch."

Yeah KF can say "he certainly gave us signs of life in the 4th, *snort* that's why he is our senior captain"......certainly didn't execute well in all areas and came up a little short. "

Exactly.....if it stayed 28 - 3 you would expect him to be pulled. JVB bought himself some more playing time.

No way that Drew Ott is ready now and hasn't been before. This latest score only thing keeping JVB in the game.

Tired of the new offense excuse. Davis has had several QBs quite successful in his system. Applewhite. Simms. Young. McCoy. Let's face it JVB doesn't have what it takes. He has had plenty of time to learn and practice. All the B1G schools have had time to study JVB and know how he can't make...

Iowa just needs to worry about scoring more than one offensive touchdown in this game. Baby steps.

Good post. The pressure is the key with James. Way too tentative. Scared to make a mistake. Looks like he is afraid to get hit. He makes me nervous for him just watching him. Maybe Rudock is one of those who shines in the spotlight. Years ago, a QB named Trent Green went down for the...

I have heard that Rudock is an aggressive passer and conservative Kirk doesnt really care for that.

It is ironic that a few months ago the discussion was whether Iowa fans would boo the Penn State team because of the scandal....... .....well the booing happened but in a much different direction. Who woulda thought?

I wouldn't expect Rudock to come in and start lighting up the scoreboard. But he needs to get some experience, and 2 games have past where he should have got some playing time. JVB is like Kirk in that they are good practice players/film watchers/developers. But they .do not excel at game day...

I am sure you keep your emotions in check as long as Mrs Duff gives you your daily medications

I don't go for the "he isn't ready" excuse. But that would be the coaches fault if he isn' t ready. He should be in every meeting, every film session, throwing right beside JVB as if he was starting the next game. Because in one play they could be taking JVB off on a cart like Joe Theisman...

I do not believe Rudock is that far behind JVB. He did not put on a horrible show at the spring game or the open scrimmages. Also if he is that bad, what did that say for Weinke, or for that matter AJ Derby? One left school and the other chose another position just to get playing time because...

Nail on the head. I find it hard to believe that anyone can defend Ferentz on this. This is getting a bit like the Little League coach who plays his son James at pitcher every game and they give up run after run. And everyone watching knows little Jake can also pitch, and the new kid Cody was...
