The defense kinda blows this year. The offensive scheme is way better but we’re for some reason tethered to a boat anchor at QB. Who did we beat out for Cades services?

I think the season was always “over” though. Even if the offense continues to improve this defense has one or two more of these type of games in them.

We've been so close to Cade exploding.

Every single time he tries to run at top speed, his legs give out like it did in the Spring game.

It's too late to matter, but it will happen.

Gonna be worse next year.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Kaleb skip out early

Cade is awful. Horrid mechanics. D was unbelievably soft.
see, this is where mere words fail us.

Cade looked like NO OTHER D1 Qb we’ve ever seen. He has been consistently SHIT since Utah State last year. Hes easily the worst I’ve seen, and I remember the 2012 season like yesterday

The game has passed Kirk by. Now it’s just a matter of how much goodwill he burns in the process. There’s no chance Sullivan is as bad of a thrower as Cade. And even if he is, he adds the running dimension.

Yeah, it's a strange combination of no skill and unshakable confidence.

A running back with a limited shelf life would be a total dipshit to return on NIL money to take 275+ carries with a limited time to earn.

Felt like the best chance was when he got hammered during the first or 2nd drive of the game. Alas, he got back up.

Iowa’s offense not participating in the first half was not optimal. No idea what they were doing. Cade is bad, but there’s more to it than that. I think they can win out at Kinnick but beating both Maryland and UCLA on the road seems unreasonable. Go hawks!

All one need to do is look at Iowa and Michigan swaps.

Jake Rudock kinda sucked at Iowa. Looked pretty damn good at UM.

Cade was respectable at UM. Has looked like trash at Iowa in every. Single. Game.

Never forgive that shit stain for PSU last year.

The first half did not make any sense. It was right back to the Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz offense. I find it hard do believe that’s what Lester wanted to do. Nothing makes sense

Iowa was receiving a country buttfucking at Penn State last year with CJ Beathard, Nate Stanley, and basically anyone else we’ve had at quarterback in Kirk’s time here.

but Nate and CJ had many many redeeming games.

Cade has done NOTHING at Iowa

Not really. Iowa isn’t throwing on first down so the defense is dumb not to play man on the two receivers and bring both safeties playing run. Without a mobile or accurate QB, it’s easy for the defense .
Maybe. I like what Lester attempts to scheme up. There isn’t a lot of talent to work with. Road game at night, pretty large stadium. I didn’t expect Cade to come out buttfucking people. It’s unfortunate how bad he actually is. This team is headed for 8-4 at best. Sucks.
