Imagine the excuses if anyone with a pulse calls the plays in Brian’s absence and the offense puts up their best numbers of the year.

Hell even Saban couldn’t resurrect this offense.

Long’s footwork. Remains an abomination. There’s a whole thread on it.
If only he'd had a Tony Racioppi to coach him, he could have been good.

(Hanging curveballs aside, there was not a single QB at any level with footwork/mechanics that didn't resemble a broken trebuchet until, like, 1975, and few if any in college before 1990 or so.)

Is it bad footwork or does a 7-step drop with the QB facing front just look weird to modern eyes? It was SOP for Hawkeye QBs back then.

Iowa still goes under center more than most but it’s always jarring in old highlights how slow developing passing games with dropbacks etc were. also mostly for deep balls. Iowa still has a slow passing game, but after 8 seconds they’ll hit Nico Ragiani on a 2-yard drag,
