This will make Ferentz even more scared to use a running QB.
Brendan Sullivan will miss the remainder of the season due to an ankle injury.
- Thread starter hawkeyefan201064
- Start date
Not seeing this anywhere on 24/7 Iowa……??
So if cleared, McNamara will get the start.
Oh well. It's not as if Kirk was going to take the opportunity to prep for next year anyway.

That was easy to predict. Injury or turnover coming. People got way too excited about him running past a 290 lb tight end.
Ok Kirk 😂😂😂
I like the bowl game practices for our backups who will be starters next year. I think if Kaleb is going pro he would be nuts to play in a Dec. 23rd bowl game because with Sully out I dont see us winning the last two games.
We might win those games if Stratton comes in and slings it around because he made some naturally good throws in the rose bowl, a memory he can cherish. He also looked more mobile than Cade which is not a high bar but STratton looked fairly quick.
Will I be really excited to watch a Dec 23rd bowl game, probably not much but I will watch because it is cold in Iowa.
Less than an hour for that to last. 😆 🤣 😂 😹
I'm glad there's people like you that worry, get pissed and post about it so I don't have to. Thanks
Fabulous movie, great reaction!
Well then Iowa in trouble as defense hasn't shown up all year

Not sure you're clear on what "redemption" means.
Playing McNamara is about the past. Playing ANYONE else has at least the potential of being about the future.
The fact that Kirk would go with the sunk cost and return to Cade starting is completely in keeping with how he operates.

Maybe just a wee too quick to completely write off Stratton and KJ/the running game, isn't it?
While I think you're right, he wants to win. To that end, he likely believes Cade gives Iowa the best chance to win. Starting Stratton sends a message that he's not still fully committed to this season any longer. On this point at this point of this season, the fans and the coaches/players have different perspectives - what can we do to win this next game versus what can we do to best prepare ourselves for next year. They're not mutually exclusive, but the priorities aren't the same.
At this point I am morbidly curious as to who would come in after Cade and Stratton. Resar I guess?
If McNamara's body of work was better, I could see the call on qb1 leaning in his direction. But it's not. He's a multi injured player who is immobile with multiple prior surgeries. His play has been unimpressive when he's actually been on the field, and that's being generous.
Given that, Stratton is not only a nod to a possible future option at QB but also a physically intact player who has shown in a very limited sample that he can move and throw.
So, we can't use Bree An Dan anymore, we're going back to Caw Day?
I'm not sure, but I doubt the seniors would like the sound of "playing for next year".
I would say 'at least we have basketball now - so far', but I don't want to jinx Friday night.
The idea that the 2024 season was relevant only for the 12 teams that make the playoffs is bullshit.
Again, Mobil QBs and dogs that chase cars share a common hazard.
Tough break for Brendan...he added some excitement to the program, when the fans needed it, and won a couple games that may have been losses.
Yup. Kirk's season is complete.
