New Depth Chart - "Or" at QB

In other words, Petras starts. And Iowa fans become the first Power 5 team this year to boo their home team or coaches prior to kickoff when the offense trots onto the field! We already hold this season's record for "Earliest Boos" when we booed Petras the 2nd quarter of the FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON!
 
Can anyone explain why they are running Colby back out there at RT? He got beat so many times in that first quarter they moved him to guard and then to the bench. RT has been a revolving door of shit since Wirfs left.

More puzzling, how can Jack Plumb be a Senior, 3-year letter winner and be the #2 tackle behind Colby on the depth chart?

I think Petras has been through enough, I feel bad for the guy as the Iowa coaches keep putting him in a situation that's damn near impossible for him to succeed in.

And his parents. As a parent myself that has to be BRUTAL to listen to 70,000 people boo when your kid walks on the field in what is supposed to be the most amazing 4 years of his life.

I wouldn't blame them if after the nebraska game they light all their gear on fire and throw it in the river on the way to the airport.
 
It'd be nice to get Nwankpa in for a few snaps so we can at least see him play a little before he transfers.

haha-good-one

That position has been a total shit show. Be it him or was it Plumb that's played sometimes they've done terrible... There's times they don't even hardly touch the DE it's hard to watch

I sat next to the parents of Iowa’s last targeted QB at an away game. They barely said a word. Thank goodness the area was predominately populated by other parents. I think we won. Can’t imagine SP’s parents‘ state of mind.

If we’re being honest that is exactly the only reason Padilla could conceivably start, but I’m not counting on it.

Why does it matter what they’re listed on the depth chart? We know it’s going to be a committee of roughly 40% LW, 40% KJ, and 20% GW.

As it should be. As a fan I’d love to see them give more attention to the two deeps, but a widely inaccurate chart isn’t exactly new to this program. The coaches have rightly determined that G. Williams is the third best RB on the team, and have reduced his workload to compensate. Sure would be nice if they could do that with QB.
 
Seriously, not giving Padilla or hell, Joey a start after the performance of Petras and his two throws where he forgot whose team he was on would be criminal.....what more is there to say? Padilla only had one T/O that was his (well mostly) fault. That was the fumble. Padilla scrambling saved a lot of lost yardage. OSU were pinning back their ears and coming. I still think he gives Iowa the best chance of winning. Honestly just don't take big sacks or negative yardage, kick field goals, and don't turn the ball over and this D will do the rest. A mobile QB that isn't forced to stand in the pocket would do a world of wonder for this porous offensive line.
