This. One dual threat QB in Kirk's tenure and he lead us to an undefeated B10 season and then we never bring another QB like that again. Makes sense.
The Rudock era HAS to start next season.

Let's take out a billboard supporting Rudock for starting QB. We can be like the Denver Broncos!!!!!!!!!!!
The Nebraska Cornhuskers have a good defense.

All of them, KOK needs to go, along with his kissing cousin Norm Parker. I mean do half of you guys really watch football? Its amazing to me that nebraska with a ********* qb can get wr's open and I mean wide open on third downs and convert them a lot. Iowa on the other hand cannot get wr's open on 3rd downs and therefore cannot convert those opportunities. Its called CRAP SCHEMES by the coordinators, we play soft zone on defense allowing other teams wr's to get WIDE open (bend but dont break has the to be stupidist thing i have ever heard of), the opposition on the other hand comes up and puts pressure on our qb and plays press coverage thus keeping us from converting 3rd downs and then you have the CRAP play calling on offense by KOK, until all of this changes it doesn't matter one bit who the hell the qb is.

McNutt is a good receiver. But when you have defensive backs as good as Nebraska's you have to deal with it and find a way to get them open. Marvin (or more likely our play calling) hasn't been able to do that today. That is not JVB's fault. If they're not open who is he supposed to complete the pass to?

Do you seriously think we purposely avoid bringing in dual threat QBs?
That gave up 40+ points to Michigan last week. Their defense has played 1 quarter today.
Wrong. Jake was around 53% for his completion rate and Vandenberg's arm strength is his biggest asset. Sometimes he bullets the short throws too much even, but arm strength he is definitely not lacking.
Nice job using 1 game to prove your argument. They gave up 3 to MSU...see how that works. It doesn't.

Easily explained, conservative play calling on offense and the most ridiculous saying in college football-bend but dont break! I would like to bend Norm Parkers dumb old a$$ and then break him, get with it, its 2011
As did we, could have been a completely different game had the defense done its job and changed momentum.
Uhh... Yes they do...

The funny thing is, half of these idiots calling for JVBs head were probably the same ones calling for JVB to start over Stanzi, lol!

Stanzi had the ability to overcome his own mistakes, bad playcalling, lack of a real QB coach, etc.
Vandenberg hasn't shown any of that.

When the play-action doesn't work, it reveals the Iowa passing game to be pretty poor. Whether it's a combination of coaching or just not having the "eye of the tiger" to play tough and composed on the road and in tough games, I am not sure. I would love to see them bring in a coach who can really be a passing game coordinator. Dare to dream, I know...

Does anyone really think this coaching staff won't ruin Rudock as well?

I would like to point out that receivers dropped 25% of the passes JVB threw.
Yikes, was it really that many? kind of hard for QB or offense to get any kind of rhythm going when that happens.
