I think Rocco is getting way to much respect here. He was an absolute disaster in the 1st half last year and the game was ours if we didn't F up inside the 5 a few times and McNamara didn't throw that ridiculous INT at the beginning of the 2nd half. I think he's a good QB, but let's make him go the length of the field to beat us like we always do and see if he can do it. Be disciplined on D and we are fine.

you should watch the games. If Iowa had Becht with this O-line, we would be CFP bound. There is no shame in saying ISU has some decent players, hell I would love to have Dominique Orange as well.

We just don't know what we have for a QB ....yet. I don't want to judge based on one game.

Maybe I'll try watching one, lol. He's good, but again we shut him out the entire first half last year. There is clearly no shame in saying ISU has some decent players, they always have better receivers than we do. And again they have a clear edge at QB, but that's almost always the case. Point being that's an every year thing pretty much these days. Get TD's in the red zone and not settle for field goals and make him go the distance ( long drives) which is of course what we are all about. And hope our million dollar man at QB doesn't **** the bed.
