But if that is the case, then why didn't Kirk Ferentz just say that in his press conference on Tues or his radio show later. If...
Or I still winder if there is something wrong with Cade's throwing arm. That pass he threw up against NW, that looked like a wounded duck, right before the roughing the passer penalty, was one of the worse throws I have ever seen a starting senior QB ever make.
The NW game this year in 2024...
If Sullivan would have been starting from game #1, he probably would have got himself hurt and out for the season by game 4 or game 5. But yes, Iowa probably would have at least beat Iowa St.
I thought I heard that Resar got hurt right after he switched positions. Kinda ironic because if he would have stayed at QB, he might be starting right now.
It does not help that the Iowa coaches are not being completely honest about what is going on with Cade going back to even before the NW game. Which is why Iowa fans are so confused now and don't trust anything.
If Cade is being protected by the coaches for personal or privacy reasons...
Can you dumb it down for me? What is wrong with Cade? Is he still walking around in a brain fog weeks after his concussion? Could it take months for him to get his head right?
Well, Iowa's experiment with a running QB lasted about 2.5 games.
Conclusion. Running QB's end up getting hurt. Don't count on them to be there for 12 games. Bring them in for special situations or for a change of pace, but don't use them full time.
Yes, if Rhule and Fickel fail, Nebraska and Wisconsin may have to lower their expectations and resort to looking for the next Matt Campbell / Cignetti type.
You know, a head coach who has had some success at the G5 level, and hopefully can at least build a consistently winning program at...
Which is why the Big Ten could never split into 2 geographic east-west 9-team divisions. It would be unfair to any midwest team assigned to the west division.
Maybe 4 geographic divisions of 4 or 5 teams each.
Not saying you are wrong but what's that based on? Especially when you consider that Oregon is undefeated and ranked #1 in the country. Ohio St has only lost at Oregon and is ranked #2 in the country. Do you really think either Oregon or OSU would lose to Vanderbilt like Bama did?
We already have promotion/relegation in 2024.
USC, UCLA, Wash, Ore got promoted to the P2 (Big Ten, SEC)
Ariz, Ariz St, Utah, Coll, Stan, Cal, SMU went to the M2 (Big 12, ACC, ND)
Wash St, Ore St got demoted to G6 (Pac, old G5, UConn)
And of course Wash ends up winning at hime, dominating UCLA .
This makes sense Iowa crushed Wash and then Iowa lost to UCLA.
The new Big Ten. Anybody (in the bottom 14) can beat anybody (in the bottom 14)
