I will agree that Wadley is the heart & core of the offense. We are lucky he didn't declare for the draft.Technically he only threw the ball for about 80 of those yards and then Wadley did the rest
If it weren't for him I have a feeling we would all be talking about how bad this offensive line really is. He makes a lot of plays work on his own, not because this line is as great as everyone thinks.

Agree, however they do seem to be getting better at pass protection.
I was pleasantly surprised by this too.

It would be interesting to get an insiders perspective; but my impression is that Stanley reads coverage and not his WR's. In other words, he's scanning the db's and "knows" where his pass should go based on what the db's cover. no way for me to see that watching games on tv, but again, would love to get an insiders observations on that.

Quite possibly the dumbest headline for a post I have ever seen. I feel dumber having clicked on it. Stanley throws 5 TDs the horror....so he missed a few long balls, float them a little and they are completions. Stanley was playing in his second collegiate game in a hostile venue. I was happy with his composure. His passes to Vandeberg and Marsset in for TDs were beautiful. I'm looking forward to the next three years.

I noticed that to. It was a great play. He knew exactly where the 2nd option should be and made the play. That's something that would rarely happen in the GD offense. It was a predetermined route and Stanley knew where all of his WRs should be. Chuck Long was really good at that to. He seemed to know where everybody on the field was at all times.

You do realize "new" Iowa QBs have won bowl games and conference titles? And Ruduck is in the NFL so it's not like I called him Hitler. I hope you weren't expecting a 6 win season because he's a "new" Iowa QB. Anyway, I think Iowa has the talent around him to be better than last year, so if you're right we will be. Right now I see more questions than answers, but I also have my hopes. I think he has the physical tools, but does he have the moxie of a Tate? Stanzi? CJB? The good news for him is he probably(?) has a better O.C. than the QBs I previously mentioned.

He's got enough moxie to not panic on the road in a hostile environment when he is down multiple scores. He has enough moxie to throw a perfect strike on a walk-off TD in OT. He has enough moxie to throw a pick in his first quarter, than rattle off 8 straight TDs. He has enough moxie to shrug off missing deep balls for TDs and move on with the drive.

Stanley had great pocket protection all day

Brian is protecting his QB with the play calling. Defenses have to respect the running game, so play action works well. Iowa is taking shots down the field, so now defenses can't just completely sell out vs the run, play man v man and watch Iowa try to run 3 yard curls against it like GDGD did.
If you haven't watched the plays @JonDMiller has posted on twitter, you need to. Also looking at HawkeyeGameFilm responses to these is great. Brian is running so many different looks with his personal grouping, that the tendencies that other teams used to focus on with GDGD are gone. No longer will Penn St. LB be able to point out what hole Iowa is going to run to before they snap the ball.
