ISU QB, gets granted another year (Kempt)
- Thread starter Hawkeyeinsoutherncalifornia
- Start date
Thanks bro! Not on here every day but kudos to you!
Oh ya, he gonna get a nice Kinnick welcome in September! Eppy meet Mr. Kempt.
Why does this suck? The guy couldn't beat out Lanning, who it turns out was better at tackling people than playing QB; and Park, who was another disaster. His go-to play was throwing it up in the vicinity of Lazard who's gone. Given Campbell's record with choosing starting QBs, I wouldn't be surprised if this guy is run out of the state by week 2.
My guess is that Kempt won't be the starter. ISU has another kid, Zeb Noland that I would expect to beat him out. Kempt is going to be an interception machine this year if he does start - his throwing motion is very long and his decision making is suspect. He got very lucky as multiple potential interceptions were dropped during their big wins last year. You can also bet that wide receiver won't nearly be the strength it was last year as well. Noland isn't much better than Kempt except he's more mobile. ISU's offense ground to a standstill at times with either guy since neither brings a great deal of accuracy to the table. Any way you slice it, Iowa State is not going to win in Kinnick this year.
You obviously didn't watch him play. He sure made good decisions beating OU in Norman in his 1st start. He then managed to win against TCU two weeks later.
TCU handed isu the game with three red zone turnovers and the refs calling TCU for holding every series while isu was tackling defenders and not getting called. Home cooking was good that day.
Yeah, uh okay.....TCU's only score was on a kickoff return. Your post is quite comical.
Yeah the Big 12 was pretty limp all the way around again this year.
Okay can't downplay this development coz kempt ended last season as the b12's highest rated qb. Shd be another good matchup this fall.
I watched that game. Had a conversation after the game (granted, with another Iowa fan) that ISU is going to have a hard time complaining about officiating anymore. You would have thought they were playing in Hilton.
That said, ISU’s defense was really good that game. Kempt was pretty average IIRC?
Edit: Just looked it up. He had a decent game statistically. 21-34 202 2td 1int...in my defense, half of that could have been Lazard bailing him out? Ewewejun, you’ll have to help me out with that. Can’t remember if there were any ridiculous catches?
Now that's funny. ISU fans are the George Costanza of college football fans... this whole universe is out to get them.
as funny as saying kempt had something to do with you beating tcu?
202 yards passing-less than 100 to guys not names lazard and a pick?
Yup, couldn't have one w/o numbers like that lol
Like I said, TCU qb made bone headed plays inside the 10 yard line with the bad throw and fumble holding the ball like a loaf of bread. You guys were gifted a w by TCU, take it and be happy.
The ISU defense forced many mistakes this year, including TCU. But if it allows you to sleep better, call it however you want.
That's why the games are played. Any given Saturday. Give credit where it's due man.
3 - 0 going for 4 - 0 this fall. Damn that sounds good. Hopefully NS is the machine he was in the 2nd half of the game in Ames.
This is just a nasty reminder of how badly Drew Ott got screwed
Kempt had a QB rating 10 points higher than Stanley and a completion % over 10 points higher. And the ISU receiving corp will still be very good next year.
It's a two sided game. Unless the ISU defense did the scoring, he lead the team to a win. That's what QB's do
Big 12 defenses add about 10 points to each, so looks like they were pretty even last year. But Stanley has far greater potential, obviously.
The consistent inconsistency of NCAA. Kempt gets bailed out with a 6th year for being a vagabond college student, while a guy like Drew Ott can't get a 5th while staying dedicated to his team and school.
ISU only played one Big 10 team and had maybe their best offensive performance of the entire season last year. I'll have to defer to you on that one.
They scored more points in 4 other games. Plus the Super Bowl effect has to factor in there as well.
They'll be bringing one of the best RBs the Hawks will see all year. Yes, I believe that.
They'll be bringing Butler back at WR and let's be honest, he'd be the best option Iowa would have if we had him.
They'll be facing a solid Iowa DL, a fresh group of LBs, and a mixed bag in the secondary. In the 2nd game of the year, with the Hawks not sure what's going on offense yet, I'm not able to make the same proclamation you did! But I hope you're right.
Kempt played against these juggernaut defenses of OU, Kansas, Okie St, Texas Tech, WVU, Kstate and in bowl game the 120th ranked Memphis D. Only TCU was in the top 50 on flip side Iowa faced 4 in the top 20 let alone 7 in top 50.
As for WR core isu is losing 3 of top 4 pass catchers and schools best wr ever. They won’t be as good as last year.

ISU finished the regular season 7-5. That included upsets over OU and TCU. They could very easily fall back to 6-6 or 5-7.
That picture makes me miss the days of honesty, integrity and class
Iowa's secondary played HORRIBLE vs you guys, that can't be argued.
That said, they were all inexperienced and still figuring things out.
If you think that one game makes b12 D better than b10, that is hilarious!
Ask any non b10-b12 fan which league plays more D.....
NW RB looked pretty good. PSU will have a good one as will wiscy.
I wouldn't be surprised if all 3 are better.
Toren young and IKM showed some skills too, I wouldn't be so quick with that one......
In last year's NFL draft when the RB from Texas was taken and they were talking about his stats a few of the guys made it a point to say something to the effect of ... well, he plays in the Big 12 so those offensive numbers are probably a bit skewed.
Pretty funny, anyone looking objectively knows defense in the Big 12 is a joke.

Douches who use this board to constantly remind us of their repulsive politics make me wanna vomit
Well said ichawk. It seems like they hand these things out like candy, until Iowa comes in with a legit request and gets turned aside in every instance. KF should just not waste his time, as we always know the answer before the request.
Vagabond college students are generally academic all-conference and in the National Technical Honor Society.
