Cooper is a lot bigger than Tim Dwight ever was. Ability, speed and field vision absolutely
This will never happen. Kirk will need to be convinced that Dejean should get touches at any offensive position. Unless something dramatically changes, we'll never seen Cooper on offense. Kirk is very stubborn playing usually the most veteran players and at certain positions (QB) sticking with 1 guy to a fault. I believe that Cooper as QB makes a ton of sense with him taking snaps in HS. Would really throw a wrinkle into our offense. We don't have a real offensive coordinator that plays to players strengths.
Most definitely, 4 INTs, 2 pick sixes, punt returns, passes defended and I think was 2nd leading tackler on team Sat. vs Wisky.
Not even close. Tim Dwight was special, very special. Coop's a great athlete playing the wrong position ( Hawks face brutal qb, see OhioSt 2nd half) Bill Walsh said Tim Dwight was the one recruit, he didn't get that he really wanted. Let's see Bill Walsh or Hayden Fry lol. Tim Dwight was one of the most mis used players ever.
After he retired, Hayden admitted as much. He said he regretted not using Dwight in the backfield instead of solely at WR. I never understood why a guy who played Jeff Brown (look him up) at RB thought Dwight would be better suited at WR. Sometimes even the greatest coaches have a blind spot. Hayden admitted that Dwight was his.
Logic would tell you if you can move the sticks on offensive with Cooper your defense would be spending less time on the field. He might reduce the # of snaps for himself and everyone on the defense unit if we can reduce our offensive three and outs.
Might be because we had Tavian Banks and Sederick Shaw at RB. 2 of the better backs Iowa has ever had. Biggest problem is our defense those 4 years.
