Ask Jay Higgens. Does anyone really think if he had left 2 or 3 years ago he be a consensus first team AA today? I'd bet not.....
Penn St QB Beau Pribula Visiting IOWA TODAY, Dec 18. Would Iowa add a 6th QB?
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Oof Indiana actually scares me the most. Lots of NIL and he made Curtis O’Rourke look like Tom Brady this year.

Perfect fit means NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHP, @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset ????
I guess Beau Pribula would be even MORE perfect.

Keyboard warriors often fall into that trap. D1 athletes tend to think "bring it on."
I feel like they will get Mendoza from Cal… I think Mizzou and UCF will be biggest obstacle.
I readily admit that Lester was limited this year with McNamara and every other QB. However, I have never felt that Lester would be allowed to or is looking at moving the offense closer to a PSU style, which I really like. Am I wrong? We did do some RPO's this year and tried some read option with Sully. Maybe if Sully hadn't gone down, we would have seen much more of it? I would expect to see a lot more read option for the bowl game, if that is the case.
No idea, but they have to have already spent quite a on all the players they have brought in.
The bowl game is gonna be interesting. Sully is healthy; lets see what he's got.
Yeah. Getting PSU'S healthy productive backup would be a step up from getting Michigan's broken backup and the backups from Northwestern and Colorado State.
I just want someone smart enough, athletic enough and accurate enough who can run Lester's offense.
I am still interested in seeing what a healthy Sully can do in the bowl game. Hopefully he's learned how to slide & to get the hell out of bounds on runs.
I liked Sully. Big step up from Cade. I'm just not sure that's saying a lot.
We are going to need several hookers tonight. He’s got to fall in love with one of them. That’s our best chance.
I don't understand this poll. How can the odds of him starting be at 52% when the odds of him even landing at Iowa are likely way less than that? People have lost their minds.
Or just a tad bit less blow than Len Bias did....Ok maybe too far
Just because you're interested in another good QB doesn't mean you don't already have some good QBs. As others have noted, the position is wide open. We've seen good things from both Sullivan and Stratton in limited opportunities. Both could be very good QBs by next fall. That doesn't mean you don't bring in Brown and, maybe, the PSU guy if you think they have the talent you're looking for. It just makes sense, although with 7 years of an "OC-QB coach" who didn't know anything working under a head coach who has proven to be less than adept at judging QBs in particular and offense in general, I can understand how your view would be skewed.
"I think a great QB can mask a middling OL." You are exactly right. And that's what we saw immediately when Sullivan took over. Suddenly KJ had holes. Suddenly the defense had to account for the QB, which made it easier for the OL. Iowa was playing 11 on 11 instead of 10 on 11. Which is why many of us have been so mystified by KF's refusal to recruit and play a mobile QB. A mobile QB changes everything, which is why you see them all over college football . . .
This is why it's a damn shame Marco was injured. I really would have loved to have seen him in Lester's offense. His arm strength was always the issue, but we haven't had a qb move like that in a long time.
You mean like Iowa and every other competent program is doing right now? Sanders came into a Colorado program that, much like Iowa in the 1960s and 1970s, was a loser and a joke. He told the returning players things were going to change, and if they didn't want to compete, they'd better move on.
Again, the envy and jealousy aimed at the only person ever to play in both the World Series and the Super Bowl are unfortunate. Colorado was 9-3 this season and boasted a first-round NFL draft choice at QB and the Heisman Trophy winner. Not bad for such a terrible coach. LOL
Bro, again you are barking up the wrong tree. I am not a fan of Deion but the results speak for themselves, shit go look at the posts when Shadeur was transferring, I literally stated you can't have a completion rate that high even in the FCS and not be a great QB.
It is legal to Crean players in your first year, I don't really give a shit about whatever you are babbling on about, a p5 school cannot cut players, without players saying they forfeit their scholarship. End of story, I've posted link after link, google is free, feel free to use it. LOL
We know what he can do when healthy. And it was impressive. By next fall Sullivan should be outstanding in all phases of QB play and, if he stayed healthy, could do just about anything Lester wanted. But you need more than one good QB. And if any of the additions end up beating Sully out, that would indicate Iowa has one heckuva starting QB and some outstanding backups. That's the goal.
Brains are free too. Feel free to use yours, presuming you have one. Shouting louder doesn't make your argument better, BTW.
Loved Gus Johnson's call on that one. What a pass. That should have been the play that gave Iowa the BIG title and a trip to the CFP, but the defense couldn't make ONE play on that final MSU drive . . .
And don't forget CJB threw another pass, almost an exact copy, that Tevaun lost in the lights.
Facts speak for themselves, just as it did with you stating that Salter had nothing to worry about the worst line in major football....LOL. Here is a link because google appears difficult.

Deion is obviously quite a coach if he went 9-3 with the worst OL in major college football. Of course, his son is a pretty decent QB, and the kid was throwing to the Heisman Trophy winner . . . Those are what we call facts. Look 'em up. They are fascinating.Facts speak for themselves, just as it did with you stating that Salter had nothing to worry about the worst line in major football....LOL.

His son is a great QB, Travis hunter could be generational, you will hear zero arguments on that. However, this is far from a good team. Look at their schedule. They didn't beat a single ranked team, were getting throttled by Debbie at half, after losing to a 6-6 Debbie team. They had one of the worst offensive lines in college football supported by sacks given up and rushing yards per game. Sanders can recruit, everyone knew that he would, but he has yet to put together a great team.
I'll just park this here
And raise you this....Such a great coach
Might wanna add in he was throwing to Justin Jefferson and LaMar Chase. Iowa doesn’t even have marginal talent at the wide receiver position and that’s what teams are going to be selling to Pribula as Iowa’s weakness and their strength in comparison.
That’s the biggest issue after NIL which is a huge problem for Iowa. Gotta get some talent on the outside and actually throw the ball to them. That’s not gonna happen with KF in charge, sad to say. He despises throwing the ball downfield, leading to a possible turnover.
I need to book plane tickets now then???????????????Perfect fit means NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHP, @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset ????
