Jackson Stratton SHOULD start next week. Hat Tip to Shaggy & Tim Lester. KF: "He's the leader of the group right now."

[Franisdaman]

Iowa didn't need to pass much today; they ran it 58 times for 268 yards.

But when they did need to pass, Shaggy slung it and was accurate (there were balls that should have been caught).

Jackson's stats: 10-14, 76 yards, 0 INTs.

The color commentator said it best; Shaggy never made the same mistake twice.

Iowa (7-4) wins 29-13.

GO HAWKS!!!

 

[QChawks]

Nope, Cade will start as the senior.

 

[mthawkeyes]

Never put a ball in jeopardy, and one of the incompletions should have been a TD.

Count me impressed…I see a little more upside than Sully too.

Do we have a choice? The QB room is the walking woundedl

I honestly don’t have too much trouble with the offense and the coaching for this team…

I’m honestly devastated that the defense has been so piss poor & times

Cade's hoping to play

Marco suited up

Marco is wearing a cast. Cade will not shine enough in practice after the head injury. I'm guessing it's Shaggy. He did ok today!

 

[Franisdaman]

They kept saying during the broadcast that Stratton was 4th string.

However, in fall camp, Jackson was 5th string:

Cade McNamara
Brendan Sullivan
Marco Lainez
James Resar--moved to WR
Jackson Stratton

 

[swihawk]

That's the way I remember it

 

[Chewback]

Kirk will push him out there in a wheelchair if he has to.

 

[Fan In Black]

just think what QB1 can look like when it's Lester's top guy.

 

[BonzoFury]

Tim Lester deserves a lot of credit. First year as OC and he's had to roll with 3 different QBs. Stratton looked very calm and confident out there today.

As for next week, if KFz starts Cade (which would not surprise) people are going to lose their minds.

Has there ever been a starting-out-the-year 5th string QB, start and win at Iowa?

Amazing what a real coordinator can do. Kirk has to be highly embarrassed watching Lester constantly adjust and deal with inferior talent when his boy’s hand picked guys fielded historically bad offenses and Kirk supported it all.

 

[ICHawk2440]

Count me impressed…I see a little more upside than Sully too.

I don’t know about that. I still like sully best. We’ll see what Lester can do with the portal. Should be an interesting offseason for a lot of teams!

B.s.

Kirk hired Lester. I'm guessing Kirk wants to win with League's success.

Shocking what happens when you get rid of the worst offensive coordinator in the history of college football, isn’t it? Lester has been a breath of fresh air. Outside of the Iowa state game, the offense is not the glaring weakness on this team. The defense has been surprisingly weak this year.

 

[MeetTheFerentzes]

Money on Marco hitting the portal this spring.

I thought that’s been obvious for a while that he’d be entering the portal. This is even before Stratton‘s emergence. Lester will have enough of his own guys in the QB room next season that there’s really no role for Marco anymore.

 

[Dr. Phil Seuss]

Oh I never doubted the man wants to win. But it has to hurt his ego a bit having everyone shown proof so often illustrating just how bad KFs decision making was with Brian.

“Piss poor” would be a relative term… I think too many fans had too high of expectation of tge defense…..therefore vs. MSU was uninspiring, granted… but all in all, it is what it is…
Can’t be surprised Iowa won today…Kirk frustrates his haters by winning these kind of games…he’s a damn solid FB coach with strengths and foibles just like us all…but he is a good one for rallying the troops when least expected….Go Hawks! Beat the Huskers!

Hasn’t kept the negativity away…but then again I haven’t been here 🤷‍♂️

Move him to RB or WR.

In such a case, there would be MUTINY!!!!!!!!!!

Is Chad going to acknowledge anything about his rumors regarding the qb position?

 

[cmhawks99]

Move him to RB or WR.

I know it doesn’t fit your narrative, but maybe…just maybe, most of the players are higher on the program than you 😂😂😂😂😂

Not with this soft D.

 

[SA_Hawk]

Cade will start.
He will get 2-3 series.
Iowa will be down like 17-0.
Cade will get benched.

if both are healthy might be one of the better qb duos in the b1g. lester could make very interesting adjustments during games next year
