Positives with Sullivan.

That was my point. We had a running quarterback with banks and it was amazing. Not sure why we went away from it.
Nah, we'll bring in a stone statue of a grad-transfer Quarterback from the Saint Mary's University of the Blind in the portal.
Exactly.
when Sullivan took off on those runs, I had to stop and come to the realizationthat that was an IOWA quarterback outrunning the defense and causing them fits, not the other way around. It took a minute for it to register in my mind that it was one of our guys, as I am so very used to seeing the opponent do it to us.
Ironically my favorite run yesterday was the one where he ran to the right, then ran all the way to the left, only to throw the ball away. I couldn't tell you the last Iowa QB who managed to do that.
Wish our WRs would have seen what was going on and helped him out, though!
Too sexy, we don't need all that razzle dazzle. All you need is a PRO-I formation, run up the middle for 3-4 yards.
Maybe. I doubt you have any personal close knowledge either way. A public PR persona is what we see. I would say some of Kirk's actions, like promoting his son at accelearated rate to OC and not taking any actions to correct the mistake are indicative of a guy that is very sure that he has a lot of power/leverage in running the program, thinks he knows best, and doesn't give a chit what fans thought. That is arrogant on a level.
Damn well said! And he makes the other defenses play off guard… the kid can run with the best of them … he’s a tough SOB
Dont leave too early for the game because Cade may well start .
Yep. On one of the touchdown runs, watched the replay and you could see the linebacker freeze ever so slightly with his eyes on the QB, instead of just flying to the hole. It wasn’t much, but it was all KJ needed.
That would keep me away for sure. I don't need the frustration, and frankly I believe that decision would drive the administration to consider whether Kirk continues to lead the program.
There were in shock from what they were seeing. Couldn’t react because they didn’t know what the **** was going on.
I think Kirk probably at least liked that he threw it away as opposed to interception or sack. Sullivan is fun to watch. It's been so long!
Cade isn't streaky at all. He's one of the most consistently bad college QB's I've ever seen.
There was a noticable change to the energy once he came in. Just a change felt needed and seemed the offense took to it. Only Kirk will see it differently tho and Cade will be back.
KJ said yesterday that having Sullivan in definitely helped open up things for him.
Agreed.
That was a great play to see an Iowa QB make and WR's aren't used to that option....
Tate.
This is probably a tackle for loss with McNamara in.
It will take them a little bit to get used to this fancy new way of playing that BF dismissed as "backyard football". 😉
Obviously Sully’s wheels and athleticism are key attributes. He was too amped up in the first half but brought some needed energy to the offense. I’m glad he got a chance and succeeded. He was uneven in his passing, but his history at NU shows he is consistently accurate with short passes. We still don’t know how well he throws the long ball.
Before Sully took over, we saw the best and worst of Cade. He looked good on the first drive and threw the Hawks’ best pass of the season to Anderson (42 yards no YAC) but also two of the worst.

He has failed to recognize that the coaches his teams play are not the same as 20 years!
I think he saw an opportunity to go down and smack someone and enjoyed the hell out of it!
Running QB's have a higher probability of getting seriously injured, thus KF doesn't want to put them in that situation. Never mind the positives.
So have more of them. Easier to replace a runner than a super skilled pocket passer.
Pretty sure I've never seen that before, not to that effort level at least.
And while that play was bombastic, he proved his moxie and football IQ when after running about 30 yards from sideline to sideline looking for a small opening to gain some yardage, he pulled up and lobbed the ball OOB to preserve the yardage for 2nd down. Instead of trying to force things with his legs and risking loss of yardage and/or a fumble - or with a pass and an INT.
Hes fast as fvck and throws better than Cade. It's a no brainer. He should've been starting by week 3 at the latest. Cade brings nothing to the table other than past team accomplishments.
