Admit it, Mary Ferentz was your HS crush, wasn't she? That's why you hate Kirk?
40 offensive points. 492 yards of offense. What should I complain about?
- Thread starter Kinnick.At.Night
- Start date
I kind of think both of you are right. Everybody probably needs the reps.
I wouldn't have minded seeing the #2 in there late, though. Cade looked healthy today, but I'm not confident it will last.
Wasnt just the throws, he had multiple plays w open recievers open downside but keep throwing the dumpdown. He didn't seem to have any confidence.
Anderson. But what I saw did not show me that the top 2 guys weren't on the field already!

I’ve seen that too - my theory is that he’s afraid to put full weight on his front foot that has the injury for fear of getting rolled up on. Fine in drills and horizontal throws but put bodies coming at his front left leg and …..
We played a nobody. Wtf did you expect? They'll have shit running down their legs when they actually play a real team.
We played a ton of nobodies last year and never put up those numbers other than Rutgers.
Agree. There was zero reason not to put in Sullivan to get some reps (playing for a minute and a half at the end doesn’t count.
Today was the PERFECT opportunity.
In any case, that’s only a minor quibble. Great game!
I watched the Hawkeyes, not sure what you watched. The Oline was a big reason why we couldn't establish the run in the first half. They were also responsible for the hurry-ups on Cade's early passing, they wouldn't pick up the blitz. It wasn't until our WRs started making plays and Cade getting more accurate that they were able to both give Cade time and give some room for Kaleb Johnson. The amount of missed blocks was also very concerning. I suggest you re-watch the game and focus on the line.
This is where I’m at. Last year we beat shit teams by a slim margin. Today, we dominated a team we should. It was very encouraging.
By halftime I was interested in seeing what Sullivan could do. But obviously you and the coaches made the right call.
I don't mind forcing some throws down field, IF we have receivers that he trusts to go up and get the ball in traffic.
The TD pass in the north endzone in the 3rd quarter, where he threw the WR open and the WR split the 2 defender's was a thing of beauty. I forget who the WR was, but you gotta let it fly sometimes.
Definitely nice to see us err on the side of "risk" in the "risk/reward" equation. But obviously easier to do that against Illinois State.....or as Dolph likes to call them, Northern Illinois.
Cade made strides and looked much more comfortable in the second half. He found a rhythm and had the O doing things they hadn’t for years. But when you’re are up 30, and he’s had a history of being dinged, why not get Sullivan a couple series to gain the same confidence and hopefully allow the game to slow down for him in case he’s needed?
