******Illinois @ Iowa Official Game Thread******

Stanley has 14 TD's compared to 2 INTs this year. He has a higher passer rating than CJ had in any season.

He's missed a number of throws this year and made questionable decisions at times, but he is absolutely not terrible "most of the time."

He also has another thing CJ never had called receivers.

Are you suggesting that a Soph Stanley is better than CJ Beathard?
 
Bend but don't break is so frustrating because it seems like they are moving the ball at will but basically it's designed to let them do that
I understand and that's exactly what's happended on this drive. But they shouldnt be gutting us up the middle. That surely isn't part of the plan.
 
Or folks who would like to watch decent football. Or both? You decide bruh, you’ve apparently got it figured out.

Never said I had it figured out but the nonstop Nieman sucks, BF sucks, KF sucks, Stanley sucks, defense sucks, everybody sucks is ridiculous, and definition of whining

If you think I'm wrong, Point of the dozen comments About how well somebody did.

We used to have playmakers on DL that would make a play at some point in the series and get a punt. less defensive line talent and offense are better getting the ball out. I don't think we'll see Iowa defense like 2004 or 2009 again.
 
Good stop. Need to stop them from driving so easily. Too many mistakes on D.

Come on O. We'll rested, time to move the chains
 
When times get tough I just remind myself atleast I don't have to watch Adam Shada anymore.

Do you think the receivers are the strength of this offense? I don't think the receivers are any better this year than they were when CJ was here.

To answer your question, no, I don't think Stanley is better than CJ. IMO, Stanley is putting up better numbers than CJ because he's being put in better position to succeed because we are throwing to our TEs more, more passes in the middle of the field, and more intermediate/long passing attempts. With that said, Stanley has still played pretty well for a true sophomore.

George is a red-shirt sophomore, walked on his freshman year. Started 4 games last year, passed for over 200 yds vs South Florida in the second half 3 weeks ago.

Like Snyder - complete waste of a jockstrap, should be benched, should have his scholly pulled - then runs a pick 89 yards for TD. That's the Snyder we know, vintage Snyder, why don't we play him more. ETC., etc., etc.
 
We should take a shot deep into the wind so Stanley doesn't overthrow one.

There is no doubt receivers are better because Kittle/Vandy were hurt most of last year. Easley, ISM, Hockensen, and improved Fant.

So, what is a defense supposed to do when the opposition makes a bad pass anyway right to our guys? "Oh I'm sorry, the internet says that don't count and we still suck"?

My gawd, think about what you are hanging your hat on here.
