Hank started vs New Mexico on Sep 14. He was 17/25 (68%) for 235 yards and 4 TD passes.

Probably, but not always. Sometimes italics are used as a point of emphasis.
I say sign him up.
Looks like some good potential and a pretty lively arm.
Almost looks capable. A far cry from what we have seen recently in the QB room
Ferentz will neuter him in a hurry.
We should just stop having QBs, right?
I take that back, then we wouldn’t have anything to perpetually bitch about, sight unseen.
Well, let's just hope that's mostly out of his system now...
He had a very bad game against Arkansas.
He also had a game that would have been the best performance by an Iowa QB in like six years, regardless of opponent, so…
Also, the Arkansas Game
He got pulled after the 1st half because he threw 3 interceptions against Arkansas. That was the game that Hugh Freeze threw his players under the bus.
Former three-star Hank Brown threw three interceptions in the first half, twice when linebackers simply dropped into coverage and Brown apparently just didn’t see them.
Payton Thorne replaced Brown in the second half (after getting benched for throwing four picks in a 21-14 loss to Cal at Jordan-Hare Stadium a couple of weeks ago) and he threw a pick as well although it really wasn’t his fault. The ball caromed off five-star receiver Cam Coleman’s hands and went right to an Arkansas defender.
Here are this year's stats:
Let's hope TL has free reign over the QB room going forward.
I'm skeptical of course as we know the history.
When I was living at the Quad my first year of school at Iowa, the day after he announced he was transferring to Illinois, some guy on my floor made a poster of Beutjer in an Illini jersey getting pile drived by Matt Roth with the caption, "The Future Beutjer", and pasted it on his door. An early meme example. /CSB
Increasing football scholarships would throw off the Title IX balance. I’m pretty sure if a school/conference did that they would have to add 20 scholarships for women too.
Again...can we be more logical about this. The whole world knows football makes money. Exempt it from title 9
Correct, and this is the more likely scenario IMO. Also for the people in the thread talking about partial schollys, football and basketball are not allowed to give partial rides.
I couldn’t disagree more. Title IX is about equal opportunity, not money. If you exempt football it’s just a matter of time until men’s basketball is exempted and pretty soon Title IX is meaningless.
you can have the teams, they don't have to be scholarship supported though. Football players risk way more serious injury and bring in, well it's not even close in terms of dollars. Leave the traditional olympic sports under title IX, but to count football to me...is a joke. Title IX has done some good things, but it's killed some good things too.
They are now according to this.
Understanding the New NCAA Scholarship Limits: What It Means for Your Recruiting Journey
NEW YORK, NY, August 6, 2024 - The 2025-2026 season for the NCAA Division I sports will be monumental in the history of college athletics, as it will be unlike anything we’ve seen before. On Friday

Maybe an FCS QB who wants to move up would be a better option. The guy from Michigan didn't work out so well. That, of course, doesn't mean the next guy from a big-name FBS program wouldn't, but I do think it means the search should look for the right individual rather than where he's coming from.
You are not alone. I absolutely believe a healthy Brendan Sullivan, working from now until mighty Albany shows up in Iowa City, could be an outstanding Iowa QB. As soon as Sully took over, KJ and the entire offense took on a whole new, more effective look. Lester, as the HC at Western Michigan, recruited Sullivan. There's a history there, and I think Sully could thrive under Lester's guidance. But Iowa does need additional bodies and talent, because we know injuries happen.
Stratton could be a very good QB as well. He needs the reps. He already has the arm, and although not a runner like Sully, Stratton is no statue. He can scramble and pick up some key yards.
So with Sully and Stratton, Iowa's in good shape. Better, I think, than most people realize. But absolutely bring in another good QB or two. In baseball, you can't have too much pitching. In football, you can't have too many quality QBs.
Can you explain this? My understanding is that the university is reimbursed for scholarships. Is that correct? What else do they pay the university for?
Truth be told
He’s probably the only “Name” QB in the portal we can afford.

The Kirk haters think that if they say stuff like this often enough it becomes true or.... they may just be the dumbasses they sound like.
Seems like a solid get with some potential. I would rather go after Kealin from NE but that is just me.
He grew up in Wheaton, Illinois. Not much different than Iowa City.
Fire Barnett, hire an O-line coach who knows what he’s doing, and QB play will improve.
