Nate Stanley Throw 5 TD Passes Against Ohio St.

[LuteHawk]

Nate "The Great" became the latest hero in Hawkeye
history at Kinnick Stadium. He threw 5 touchdown passes
against the 6th ranked Buckeyes to lead Iowa to an upset
victory. Stanley looked poised and polished as he picked
apart the vaunted Ohio State defense.

Bottom Line: Nate has thrown 22 TD passes this season
as a rookie sophomore. Congrats to Nate for being great.

Awesome- best game ever to watch

Love that the O has been continuing to chip away and improve. Hopefully they can close this season out with more positives!

 

[jo2knight]

He's got some Brett Farve zip on his passes. Just keep racking up the TDs over his career. The awesome thing is him, & the TEs & WRs will have a few years to gel together.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Nate is the most awesome sophomore QB ever!

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Lol. I just asked in another thread the last time an Iowa QB threw for 5 TDs.

Chuck Hartlieb?

 

[ffjoey44]

Stanley is showing potential to hit Chuck Long status. Kid is a natural complete pro style qb

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Nate is the most awesome sophomore QB ever!

Drew Tate wasn't bad.

I assume you're just talking Iowa QBs?

It's also a case for opening up the offensive identity of Iowa football.

Perhaps Brian can chip away at pops after all.

What is the Iowa TD record for the season? He has the record for one game now.

You have to be impressed with Stanley. Poise, arm-strength, decision making ... happy for him!

Dolph said Long has the record with 27. Banks had 26. Stanley is 3rd right now.

 

[GPRHAWK]

No

That's what I thought. Dolph said he set the record toda with 5. I didn't think that was right. Maybe he said it was the record for a sophomore.

 

[Moral]

The guy is amazing. The zinged in a touchdown pass with a defender wrapped around his leg, and he wasn't phased by it.

Chuck Hartlieb?

Stanley did it against Iowa State this year. Impressive stuff

Actually, accoding to Hartlieb, he had 8. He includes a Pick 6 he tossed in that game.

Record for a Kirk QB

Record for a Kirk QB

Ok. Thanks. I missed that.

 

[LuteHawk]

The GOOD NEWS is that Nate will be at Iowa for
his Junior and Senior year. This is a young team
with some great freshmen filling in key roles.

 

[reotto]

Not to hijack but the OL played very well today.

 

[H4wkfan4life]

Poor wadley

 

[FootballChamp1]

Ferentz needs to start letting this kid throw the ball 40 times a game. Absolute beast and it helps open up the run game too.

 

[TKingpin]

Isn’t it awesome that Iowa blew out OSU with 5 touchdown passes that went to only TEs and a Fullback?

That is the Iowa football I like to see!

 

[LuteHawk]

Brian Ferentz deserves some credit for a great game
plan against the Buckeyes. Of course Nate was able
to implement it with 5 TD passes and no interceptions.

 

[HerkysDad]

I think Dolphin said the single game record was for a Ferentz team. Chuck Long had six in the Freedom Bowl against Texas. In the rain....no less! Great job Nate and O line.

 

[The Sleeping Dog]

22 TDs is tied for 5th place in a season. 1. Long (Sr.) 27 2. Banks (Sr.) 26 3. 3. tie Vandenberg (Jr.) & Stanzi (Sr.) 25 5. Tie Stanley (So.) Tate (Jr.) & Long (Jr.) 22

With four games to go that 32 season old record just might get broken this season. Maintaining his current average Nate should throw about 7 more TDs and 800 more yards. Of course, nothing is a given, especially for Iowa.

But........this youngster is very good already and heading up not down.

 

[HawkinMN]

That was insane. I jumped out of my seat at Bdubs after that.

 

[millah_22]

10th year senior JT Barrett: 18/34 208 yards, 3 TD, 4 INT
True Soph Nate Stanley: 20/31 226 yards, 5 TD, 0 INT

 

[yrunvs]

The guy is amazing. The zinged in a touchdown pass with a defender groveling around his leg, and he wasn't phased by it.

FIFY

 

[LuteHawk]

Barrett can forget about the Heisman Trophy.
Ohio State can forget about being one of the
4 playoff teams in the NCAA Championship.

I kind of liked him today, hrowing 32 times and running 38 times, I guess that’s just me.

 

[LuteHawk]

With 32 passes and 38 runs, the Hawkeyes had a
balanced offensive attack. It made both phases
more effective. You have to run in order to make
the passing game work like it did today.

Lol, I thought it was only Barrett’s 9th year, but I had forgotten that other year he redshirted...

Chuck Long was accurate but didn't have the arm strength Stanley has.

We threw a lot on 1st down before we got big lead--that was the break from past tendency. I think I saw a draw play, which I hadn't all season. We passed to our snapper. Stanley punted. I think it is safe to say Ohio State wasn't expecting a lot of the things we did.

This.

Not sure on this. I remember Long was unstoppable throwing sideline out passes and hitting the guy about 1 yard inbounds on his way out. And it seemed like the passes were from center of field to sideline about 30 yards down - so about 50 yards on a rope.

Agree with this. Our passing game backed OSU off the LOS. It was the passing game that set up the running game.

 

[LuteHawk]

Nate Stanley is 6 foot 5 inches.. Chuck Long was
a few inches shorter. Chuck had better receivers
than Stanley. The running backs probably about
even for both of these QB's. The difference in their
career will probably be the arm strength of Stanley
versus the mobility of Long.
