Iowa averaged 28 points/game coming into the Maryland game last year. If we see 28 today I'll be shocked...along with most other Iowa fans. To blow a team out...you have to score a lot.
And Maryland had a shit ton of turnovers. Iowa State would have to do the same thing, which is always possible.
Sure is, and it could likely be the difference today. But unless they're inside the 20 yard line I wouldn't expect to see a lot of points off of them. I'd love nothing more than to see it happen, but I sure as hell wouldn't bet on it.
Unfortunately...I don't he has to light it up. He just needs to manage the game...hit the throws that are easy and we should be able to get points. KF / BF are just trying to win...no style points, and he doesn't have to be outstanding...just good. I honestly think Petras will play well today. It's doubtful Padilla plays.
That’s the sad thing. Even if Iowa takes possession on the plus side of the field, their odds of scoring are still under 25%.
Inside the 20, maybe 40/60.
I’m convinced that KF is more interested in showing who’s boss than he is at winning football games. Playing AP would be a big risk for him, since it could show that everyone in the college football world is smarter than him. It would take either an injury to SP or maybe a 3TD deficit for AP to see the field.
This the correct answer. So I am putting the percentage chance at 2% because that would mean a couple of pick sixes, punt return for TD, and numerous safeties/field goals….😉
And since then, Iowa has averaged 10.67 ppg and is (2-4) when Petras played more than half of the game.
Ferentz regularly talks about Petras' confidence, and what's even worse than boos is the deafening applause of your backup coming in. You KNOW Ferentz wants to avoid that and hold out for a road game. Both switches last year came in road games.
Yea.... unfortunately our coach is the only one in the COUNTRY that sticks with our terrible QB
After this game, I’d say the odds moved from 0% to 5% chance he plays. Good news, by the end of the year he should be at roughly 50%.
Hawks are handicapped, every time Ferentz trots Petras out there……horrible, horrible last 3 full games he’s played at QB1. I feel sorry for the rest of the offense is the truth. I said last week a monkey an hand off the ball. If QB1 doesn’t use his legs, then you better have pocket presence and consistent accuracy, which Petras has very little of since Penn St game last year (over 10 games ago). SO KIRK WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
they seem to pick up volume as the game progressed...2 crappy offensives essentially having a pillow fight for 4 quarters was pretty brutal to watch on TV, so really can't blame them.
