Must be a small apartment

I’m not saying he’s the next greenway I just mean hoping the senior is replaced by a better underclassman

Wait- so were not changing words, thoughts, discussion to fit a narrative...

Kirk usually makes the move a week or two too late. Before the Washington game.

I agree. Gonna take him being exposed badly in coverage, and OSU is the first team that will do that in a major way

 

[KitKatApples]

I hope he wins the Heisman

I lean Brownie based on these two bits. Heck seems to identify those 10 yarders pretty quickly, but he threw some scary "pick me" balls. Brown's near misses looked better and safer to me. The TD to 81 probably wasn't one, but the PI on 2 was gonna be. The throw to Jackson Naeve may have been the best throw of the day. The longer one to KJ Parker was underthrown, but was a safe underthrow. Just missed on the consecutive end zone fades.

I think Hecklinski’s athleticism will be more valuable during live games

I was in Historic Kinnick Stadium for a Hecklinski TD and watched Hank shit his pants during an upset bid vs Indiana...

I'm a Hecklinski lean at this point

I expect to be able to run the ball with some strong success. Need to be able to take advantage of that success and throw the ball down the field. Hank is the guy.

Nope, hecklinski is the wild card who will scamper for a few extra first downs that will seal the fate of the opposition.

I was excited about Hecklinski until I saw him throw the football. For being a “gun slinger” his arm is very uninspiring. I don’t really understand the higher ceiling thing with Hecklinski. Brown may end up sucking, but he’s got considerably more arm talent and it isn’t like Hecklinski is a significantly better runner. I think we’ve been burned by years of offensive incompetence and have given up on pro style QBs. If Lester picks Brown, I’m guessing he’ll be able to scheme to his talents.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Don’t forget, our offense is so complicated that we can’t possibly consider playing the highly recruited freshman or redshirt freshman.

 

[Pinehawk]

I have no idea which QB is better. So, I’m just going to wait and see.

 

[Shawneemicks]

It’s going to be brown. To start at least.
