Two Deeps & Game Notes for Iowa vs. Minnesota
- Thread starter Blair Sanderson
- Start date
Padilla is starter. Let's Go Hawks!
And Deuce listed as second string. Interesting.
Could be shutting him down for his shoulder issue.
Hogan #2 which means Petras is either not dressing or working as the emergency QB. So safe to say this isn't a "benching of Petras", but a start for Padilla due to injury. Semantics, I know, but deliberate at the same time. All doors remain open.
Yeah this has been an issue. MN QB isn't good so hopefully it doesn't. Stop the run. Next 2 games..
If Padilla kicks ass it will be his going forward regardless but he needs to deliver.
Petras not listed at all. Maybe the injury is more serious than first thought?
These depth charts are basically how the team ended last game. Rarely an indication of things to come.
Saving him for the bowl game…
Obviously Padilla listed as a starter is going to make all the headlines but I think something that is being overlooked this week is no Mason Richman on the depth chart.
The prospect of no Richman worries me more than the prospect of no Moss.
Or Roberts?? How much PT outside of special teams has Xavior Williams got?
What what do you mean by that.
That's just too wide open. I'm kinda worried now.
Ok I'm just gonna breathe, it's probably nothing just an inside joke lol yea that's it yea haha yea haha lol yea..
Unless both Alex and the Deuce both crash I think we've seen the last of Spencer.
Alex earned this start on the field. I'm sure the coaches saw what everyone else saw after Alex entered the game. Graceful way to put Spencer out to pasture.

Here's the weekly update on who is actually starting games.
Similar to Keagan Johnson, they should really list Charlie Jones as a starter at this point. Outside of one game, Ragaini is only starting when they open in three-wide.

Does this make Hogan the new fan favorite and best QB on the team?
Yes, the moment Padilla struggles, Hogan becomes the most popular man on the team.Does this make Hogan the new fan favorite and best QB on the team?
The 2 deeps at offensive tackle have been a concern every week.

Well of course. That is a given 😂.
Has there even been any statements from the staff on how close he might be to coming back?
This must mean that Petras's injury is worse than thought because i just watched KF's post NW press conference and he as much as stated that once Petras is 100%, he will be starter.
But if Padilla is lights out the next game or two, KF might not have tehe luxury to follow through and Petras might be a wolverine next season If that happens possibly the first 13-2 starter (other than perhaps Jalen Hurts) to ever transfer.

If that happens possibly the first 13-2 starter (other than perhaps Jalen Hurts) to ever transfer.So I'm getting some of the same vibes from the responses here that has been my pet peeve about the way this staff looks at the qb position.
Let's not put Padilla on a pedestal and say that he's untouchable and that it's now his era and his team from here forward. He deserves a fair shot to run the team. But that doesn't have to mean sticking with the same old "starter for life" mentality.
What's wrong with a position that is something less extreme than the KF set of expectations that a starting qb shall be named and he will get all meaningful snaps barring injury, illness or otherwise unavailability?
There's some middle ground between a hair trigger for pulling a qb for any mistake and tenure for the duration of eligibility once named starter.

It’s very interesting, based on Kirks comments that Petras isn’t listed at all though. Either this is his way of naming Padilla the starter, and the injury gives Kirk a graceful way to bench him without actually benching him, or they looked at Spencer again and the injury is more severe than first thought. Presser tomorrow will be interesting.
To be fair, I’m not sure there’s more than twice in 22 years that we’ve legit had a qb controversy, online fan griping aside. jc in ‘08 and obviously rudolf/CJB. Otherwise, we’ve had fairly solie quarterback play and this hasn’t been the issue people like to think it has been.
Yep - the calls for Deuce begin!
Glad to see Padilla starting. The disconcerting thing is staff now doesn’t feel in 5 days Petras is healthy to play. Ok I get that. But yet a few days ago they thought playing a less than 100% Petras over a healthy Padilla was a better option??? Play calling for his 3 series proved that they thought they could scheme around his injury and win like a Wisconsin by running it 50x and barely throwing. However our OL and power running game no where close to that level and Padilla playing coming in was option B. Petras should’ve never seen the field Saturday and speaks volumes of the coaches who thought it was good decision to try and play him as the first option with his injury. Did Petras or the team no favors.
especially since KF was hopeful that Spencer would be back to near full strength this week
