Brown is simply not a P4 starter. Seems like a good person & teammate. Ok as a backup.
Heck is probably about the same.
Bessinger has to be the guy next year or portal qb. Unless we are ok with just being middle of the league.

I’m mostly ok with being what they are. Consistently top half, win 8-10 games. Pretty good no doubt but I don’t think any of us think they’re that far off being in the top 2-3. QB being the obvious spot to make a huge jump.
Maybe bessinger is that guy, if not pay one

Hank Brown is going to be the QB next year

We have absolutely no idea if Bessinger is worth a shit. Guys rated way higher than him get to college and simply can’t process things fast enough. Plus we are quite literally the worst program in the country at developing QB’s.

I don't think Brown is paralyzed with the fear of making a mistake. I think he's just not very accurate.
Is it the fact that the ball comes out of his hand looking like a punt that led you to this conclusion.

He had some weird ass releases in slow mo, where everything looked fucked.

Brown was shook after the first series. He was above average at Michigan. He’s fine if his first read is open. He’s not great at working through his progressions. Heck may not be much better but seems to be better if his first read isn’t there

Hard to tell about Hecklinski, but that drive of his was very posed and impressive. Was waiting to see another drive to see if he could repeat, but it wasn't to be.

He had one good drive against Michigan with some extremely lucky bounces/circumstances. The last pass was a perfect throw, but I have not seen anything to suggest it wasn't a one-time thing.

I want to see what Hecklinskincan do.

Eh, Brown had some really bad throws. When the whole stadium groans, it's not good.

I mean there was literally a post two posts before mine that said “I want to see what Hecklinski can do”.

Hanks problem isn’t if his first read isn’t open. It’s that he takes ways too long to figure out if his first read is open.

An offense with zero identity on the road at night on the west coast on a short week against a desperate team.
Might be the lock of the year

This is making me feel so much better about the game and is going to be worth of an NCAA tournament like ban for Shawnee after Friday night.

Autumn appears to be arriving at noon Friday. Just in time for kickoff.

I’ll be pretty surprised if Iowa isn’t much more run heavy in this game even if it isn’t working.
Less than 20 passes for Hank or heck, whichever is playing. Guessing it’s heck but ?
