What is the longest run of an Iowa QB?

[herkyhawk00]

Curious what the longest run for an Iowa qb is? It just completely shocks me that we continue to get qb's with little to mobility. Was it maybe Beathard that had it? Banks?

Drew Tate could have been a great runner that I think would have had a great impact on the offense, but he was pretty determined to run parallel with the LOS and was always looking down field instead of taking the easy 6-8 yards.

 

[pistachio1999]

My guess would be some QB long ago when they rarely passed

 

[StallmanCurse]

Beathard vs ISU is the first one that comes to mind.

I couldnt believe it when they punted... It was like 4rd and short from the Iowa 40.... idiots. ... oh snap, I forgot he had two...go to the 5:20 mark...

 

[HawkAlum2002]

Correct, led the team in pass attempts that year.

Rudock had a 31 yarder against WMU in 2013. Beathard had a 33 yarder in the Tax Slayer Bowl.

Jim Hartlieb would be a good one to check, but I can't find his longest runs. But he averaged 10 a carry in 1990 so one of them must have been a long one. And I think he had a good one against NC State in the 1992 Kickoff Classic. Too bad he got hurt mid-season, would've made a bowl game if he stayed healthy.

Randy Reiners had a couple long ones out of the option in 1997. I think he had one in the opener vs UNI that was over 30 yards.

This was the one (@ 5:20) that came to my mind first, but then after seeing the clips, I definitely remember the end of that other run.

I looked at the game recap:
The run out of the end zone was 44 yards, and the one after the punt was 57 yards.

In the two vids of CJB, one was 55 plus and the other was 44. He could move when healthy. He had a 62 yard TD run for the 9ers

I remember in one game Nate Stanley was the lead blocker for a big Iowa run. Does that count?

Tate did most of his running around behind the line looking to throw. Dude was a magician....

Hmm, interesting and another historical factoid about little brother against the Hawks.

 

[HawkAlum2002]

I guess we all overlooked it because he moved to RB as a senior, but Podolak was the QB in '66 and '67, so his run against NW would actually be the winner.

This was the first one that came to mind along with CJB at ISU.

Ism end around. No block by Stanley.

 

[Roncuba55]

I remember big Nathan Chandler had a couple big ones back in the 2003 season. We used to run that playaction rollout to perfection. One might have even been a 30+ yarder!

42 yarder against ISU in 2003 was his long. He was a dual threat recruit coming in even at 6'7" so he was capable of taking off when necessary, just ask that Michigan DB he ran over and injured for that TD!

Yes, Caldwell played QB. But Podolak played QB until moving to RB his senior year, so his 87 yarder would be the longest.

 

[BurgHawk87]

I guess we all overlooked it because he moved to RB as a senior, but Podolak was the QB in '66 and '67, so his run against NW would actually be the winner.

3 TD's and 18 INTs in '66. Woof.

Jees, I guess we know why they moved him to RB......

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

And running after guys to take on after throwing a pick.
Loved the way he played the game.

Yes, Caldwell was a QB. But in 1966 I think Pololak was playing QB for Iowa as Ed didnt move to running back until his Sr year in 1968 when Larry Lawrence came to Iowa.

So I think Podolak gets the nod.

I remember big Nathan Chandler had a couple big ones back in the 2003 season. We used to run that playaction rollout to perfection. One might have even been a 30+ yarder!

Ed Podolak is listed as a QB on the 1966 roster

 

[HawkAlum2002]

Why not start with the Nate Stanley era. I wouldn’t think his cement feet had a very long run either.

16 vs Miami of Ohio. But he had 7 games with a run of 10 plus. His long against USC in the bowl game was 8 and I'm pretty sure that was a QB sneak!

 

[Quintana]

Yes, Caldwell was a QB. But in 1966 I think Pololak was playing QB for Iowa as Ed didnt move to running back until his Sr year in 1968 when Larry Lawrence came to Iowa.

So I think Podolak gets the nod.

the original 'repeat'?

 

[MeetTheFerentzes]

After thinking about this for a bit, I'd say the winner is Jon Beutjer, who ran all the way from Iowa City to Champaign after Sam Aiello beat the sh*t out of him over a cable bill.
