Here is another silver lining we can cling to.... or maybe it isn't a silver lining and is actually more depressing.

Iowa and Kirk have been down this road multiple times before with Christensen/Stanzi and Rudock/Beathard and each time he has eventually made the right change.

What makes it not a silver lining and somewhat horrifying and depressing is that this time there is no backup that is clearly better. Padilla is barely an upgrade and it seems that Labas is fucking awful. They aren't going to go with May as he isn't even dressing.

In a perfect world they would have politely told Petras/Padilla to move on or they would have had enough pride to move on and they could have grabbed a transfer QB with Labas as the backup.

Charlie Jones would still be here, might have even gotten a transfer WR. The season would be looking so much better.

I cannot fathom that they chose to let Petras come back and that loser didn't have the balls to transfer back home. Fuck him.

May dressed yesterday, went through warmups and was on the sideline all game.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Their loan scoring drive going 5 yards and a fg.

They literally did nothing to help the team score points.

 

[Alan Lomax]

They literally did nothing to help the team score points.

So inept they kept giving a good punter the chance to down punts inside the 5. Finally leading the overmatched fcs team, playing in the biggest loudest environment they will, to break and give up safeties.

 

[ChipHilton]

They are better at every offensive position group except tight end. Significantly so at QB and WR. The defense is certainly good enough to keep Spence out of the end zone. Maybe Bruce can sneak a reverse pass to Wick for a cheap 6.

It will take an awful day from Dekkers to steal a win.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

@CamelTones @YugoslavianMountainHound is that transfer TE even on the team at this point? He looked great on tape, but he must really suck as I haven't heard a thing about him in camp and looks like the freshman TE played yesterday and he didn't.

#86. He played a little

 

[eclone]

Is Iowa still -7?

And L-O-L at that point total

 

[eclone]

I’ll mostly try not to be too insufferable, and I’m terrified of the Iowa defense to the point of not betting ISU can win. But I do like that these two guys look like a legit QB/WR combo.



I just wish I had any confidence in our Oline and DLine.They were both “fine” yesterday, but need to take a big step up next week.

 

[Soda Popinski]

It's going to suck.

 

[Kamala]

24-6 ISU

 

[Vepr]

Someone on the defensive needs to Nancy Kerrigan peaches with his own fucking guitar.

 

[Stu Beagle]

Yeah I’m not looking forward to being in Kinnick Saturday. I’ll boo the offense every chance I get though.

How sad that in just 4-5 years Campbell has developed a better offensive line than us.

 

[RecreationalGynecologist]

I don’t think that’s the case

 

[champion_thedrinker]

I trash a lot of the Outrage! I see on this forum, but I am legitimately irrationally pissed about the offensive situation.
That being said, Phil Parker is a wizard.
ISU 0
Iowa 17

Hoping to see some wildcat formations.

 

[The Full Monte]

Iowa wins, we're still miserable.

Unpossible

 

[CUIHAWK]

I fully anticipate us losing in the most spectacular way. Kinnick will get hostile! Lolz

 

[Pipiyopee]

Iowa will improve on offense this week. It’s still going to suck, but it will be enough.

Iowa - 20
ISU - 16

 

[Vepr]

Iowa will improve on offense this week. It’s still going to suck, but it will be enough.

Two field goals?

The best weapon an opposing defense has is our starting QB.

Somehow.

 

[Stu Beagle]

I think the first quarter decides the game. The defense isn’t going to hold up if the offense doesn’t show any signs of life.

 

[KitKatApples]

You’re dreaming brother

True football player and all around great American Ricky Stanzi was our QB. Peaches makes me miss even Vandenberg.

Spencer’s slide short of the first down late pretty much says all you need to know.

 

[Natty Bumppo]

I’m afraid the booing in the first quarter will leave me hoarse and unable to boo beyond that.

 

[Creed]

16-9 Iowa. 3 FGs and their lone TD comes from the double pass that ISU used for the infamous Campbell gif about being so smart.

 

[Stu Beagle]

Can someone make that into a gif I can send to people whenever they do something stupid?

I actually don't want this to happen because again I think it'll be enough to keep Petras afloat.

But so often over the years Kirk has been able to pull a rabbit out of a hat when things are looking dire.

This is somewhat of a make or break game for Spencer. Can he be well below average and still keep his job? Probably. But he can't stink it up like he did last week or I think it'll force Kirk's hand; if only to preserve the kids mental health

 

[kmurp]

lol

All right, I believe you as I know nothing about ISU other than they have a new QB and good wide receiver. I was just reacting to a prior post saying they are better than us on offense at every position group except TE.

 

[Lee Beevers]

I just can’t.

Iowa 56
Iowa State 3

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I am trying to think how this played when I was in school.

i believe the starter was Scott Mullen who actually put up some passing numbers but never won a game as a starter. One week, Mullen was demoted to #3, McCann? stayed #2, and I believe Buetjer was the starter after that.

full disclosure, I was in college a long fucking time and saw a lot of iowa qb’s.

iowa states offensive line is slow, soft, and horrible.

That could all be true, and they could still be better than Iowa’s.

As opposed to throwing ball out of bounds on 4th down?

 

[Mountain Hawk]

True football player and all around great American Ricky Stanzi was our QB. Peaches makes me miss even Vandenberg.

Hells, at this point I'd take Gary Snook, and he's been dead for over 30 years.

 

[Mountain Hawk]

I’m afraid the booing in the first quarter will leave me hoarse and unable to boo beyond that.

Record a boo loop on your phone, and bring a speaker to plug it into.

i feel the slide really showcases his athleticism and courage in a way a bad throw simple can’t

The best thing about it was how he was holding the ball. His finger was nowhere near the point of the ball.

He was hugging the ball on the side, like a 10 year old would.

That was one of our best plays the entire day.
