Key Play of the Game

Beathard finding Hamilton on 3rd and 5/6, with pressure in his face. His arm strength and accuracy made that play. I don't think Rudock could have made that play. It kept the go ahead drive alive.
 
Certainly an eye opening throw. All arm, and on a rope. I thought that throw, as much as any deep toss, set him apart from JR.

Absolutely, right on. Not only what you stated, but it shows the moxy a stones the kid has. Not only did his backpedalling buy time for Hamilton to get open (the throw speaks for itself), but let's not forget, CJ got hammered after the release. This kid has "it" in my opinion.

That was a great throw at an important time. It took guts and an arm and my daughters and I could hardly believe it.

However, the ice bucket challenge comes (cold water).

CJ did not get hammered after the release. The Pitt defender put his arm around CJ's waist and did a little dosey-doe with him.

And, I believe Jon is being a little too starry-eyed thinking that CJ is going to play a lot next week. If JR is healthy he will start and play until the game gets out-of-hand for CJ to take over the remainder of the game.

What am I saying. Now I'm being too starry-eyed. Out-of-hand?

Ok, seriously, JR will play all but a couple of series: one in each half. That's my bet.

Yeah, but he stood in there with the guy coming on, and accepted taking the blow. The defender could just have easily laid one on. So he still gets credit for it.
 
Knew it was a good play right away with pressure coming.

Then they showed the angle behind the LoS and you see the zip the ball has and how perfectly it hits Ray in stride and it was twice as impressive!!!

And he hit him in stride..going back several qb's we've seen issues with that even on completed passes.

GREAT CATCH too. It was also pass interference. The defender clearly hit Hamilton before he caught the ball.

I didn't remember it that way watching it today and I just watched it again twice and the defender definitely didn't get their before the ball and it was a routine catch.
 
Key play was 3rd and 3 in first half. Rudock misses a wide open hillyer for first down and gets "hurt." Benched or injured, he sat the rest of the game. If he throws to hillyer, Iowa loses the game.
 
Great post and observation. I said out loud when it happened " ruddock can't make that play". that play is what stretches defenses.
Had ruddock been in the game for that play it's either a sack or more likely a check down to someone in the flat for a gain of -1 yard.
If you recorded the game go to the 13:15 mark of the 4th and watch this play and tell me this isn't the most fired up (by far) you've seen Ray Hamilton all year! Not hard to understand why!

I don't know. Hamilton definitely isn't afraid to get fired up when something good happens.
