[The Full Monte]

He's just so hot and cold which I guess is an improvement over being just cold or lukewarm the first half of the year. 1st quarter last week and 1st half today he looks awful. 2nd half last week and basically two drives in the 2nd half today, he looks really good and you see the talent. At least we're getting glimpses now.

As bad as he’s been this year...he’s actually improved quite a bit in the last 3 games. We’re seeing at least a half of good football out of him at times.

 

[douglasbader]

Does this get announced tomorrow @douglasbader ?

Yes.

 

[The Full Monte]

It could be that his conditioning is shit after the time missed early in the season?

That’s something that’s crossed my mind. CAN he play full time? But man alive does that kid always seem to be around the football

 

[HerkyHopeful]

I haven't seen anything that would tell the coaches they don't need to at least look for other options in the off-season at QB.

I know it's unlikely they'd land a transfer QB.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Say stupid shit, win stupid prizes. You know that one well.

It’s play stupid games, win stupid prizes you miscreant

 

[nolookpass]

Just because Campbell is good doesn't mean that benson isn't.

Just because Kirk is Brian's father doesn't mean Brian isn't a good coordinator. He's led us to 37 points a game over the last 6 games with spotty, at best, qb play.

Give it a rest already.

I haven't bad mouthed Benson at all. Just recognize Campbell is better. The offense has improved but lets be honest, they haven't played a team with a winning record during that span.

Yeah I can't overstate how good the trio of inside LBs has been this year

What is wrong with you?

 

[Fritz Fequiere]

lol that some of you dorks just can't find it within yourself to admit you were wrong about Petras.

Hi there, Jamie.

 

[douglasbader]

lol that some of you dorks just can't find it within yourself to admit you were wrong about Petras.

Still one of the worst rated QB's in the country.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

What is wrong with you?

That I recognize petras is awful?

I think Benson may be a NFL guy too. Iowa recruited two middle linebackers in the same class who have bright futures. It’s a good problem to have. *I do still agree that Campbell is a difference maker

What? No

he’s been fucking terrible for 85% of the season.

Iowa(like a lot of teams) is vulnerable to passes over the lbs and in front of the safeties. Having a 6'5 guy dropping back in pass d is a great thing.

Wait. What?

 

[Lee Beevers]

Agreed. I still don’t think Campbell in pass coverage is what makes him special though. At least not right now. Both these guys are way ahead of Welch as as Sophomores and that’s a great sign.

 

[AZmess]

Lol Iowa isn’t getting a grad transfer at QB.

 

[AZmess]

I mean it’s actually retarded to think they would.

 

[douglasbader]

Iowa doesn't need or want a grad transfer QB.

 

[HawkLax6]

My guess is Benson got the start due to Campbell missing the first couple games of the season. Benson played well during that time and the first couple games when Campbell was working back into game shape. I bet Campbell could play most of the snaps if he needed to now, but the coaches don't want to bench Benson as he played well even so they are rotating both.

 

[Alan Lomax]

Iowa doesn't need or want a grad transfer QB.

They need a fully open QB competition in the spring. And on this particular night I think they do it.

 

[Fritz Fequiere]

The qb for the 2nd highest scoring team in the big ten has been awful is actually a popular opinion on halo.

I guess it's stuff like this that makes this place fun for me.

The Duece will be let loose.

Bringing in a grad transfer would be an awesome way to get Deuce to transfer.

You see Fritz trolling....

Petras might improve with spring practice and a full fall camp.

I mean can he get worse? 50/50?

As pointed out by stat man @HawkLax6 in this thread, Iowa has defensive and special teams scoring that is off the charts and even with less games is way higher than teams ahead of them.

Petras finally today passed the James Vandenberg / Greg Davis line of demarcation 2012. That isn't good.

 

[HawkLax6]

I am not defending Petras (or Padilla), but Hogan never overly impressed me much based on his high school career. He played against really shitty competition and was very blah for the hype/offers based on who he played against. He only completed 44% of his passes his junior year.

But I would love for him to prove me wrong.

Points off takeaways is points scored on the actual turnover or on the drive following the turnover. So the offense has a say in that number (although some of it is with a short field).

Woof.

 

[BBK]

Jesus. Kid makes bohannon look likeable and charming.

 

[BBK]

Woof.

Poor completion percentage but very good TD/INT ratio and solid yards per completion.

Inconsistent, though. Sounds Petrasy.

 

[BBK]

I can't imagine Kirk having a sit with this kid and finding conversational connectivity.

Kirk likes qbs who's favorite food is oatmeal

Campbell will have MLB all to himself next year, with Jay Higgins backing him up. Benson and Jacobs sharing Will with Jacobs hopefully ascending as the season goes on. One of them can play the outside spot if and when they utilize it- which they may not have to do if Belton stays healthy and they know they have a solid backup at the Cash spot. (Harris could well be Hankins' successor, unless Hankins gets "stay in school" feedback.)

Depressing to think of how many snaps Campbell might be getting if Doyle were here. (Btw, Doyle and co. allowed 600+ yards to Okie State on their home field today.)

 

[CurdMan]

If Indiana is playing next week I am going to be pissed the fuck off if it is a meaningless game against Purdue and not a NY6 play in vs Iowa.

 

[BBK]

I feel like I'm the only one ok with Campbell's usage this year.

Kind of reminds me of Epenesa. He was more efficient when playing less snaps, but everybody bitched.

He will likely play full time next year, so we will find out if he is TOTALLY FUCKIN AWESOME every down.

 

[thrawn]

Meh, Petras had Mahomes-like high school stats at JARED GOFF’S OLD SCHOOL.

Serious question but do we know how many of his teammates, particularly the RBs and WRs went on to play college football?

2017 ATH went to Colorado, 2018 WR went to Navy, 2019 RBs went to Army/Navy per Rivals

no kidding. I feel bad for Doyle but it would have been turrible for Campbell to sit behind him.

I can’t think of a single play where I said ‘Fuck, I wish Campbell was in there!’ If a pass was completed to the guy Benson was covering there is no way in knowing if Campbell would have done better.

I like that the coaches are rotating guys. It allowed them to be efficient with their snaps. They’re both good.

I think Colbert is going to get the Barrington Wade treatment next year.
