KF showing fans he’s trying to be “aggressive” going for two while playing a qb that is risk averse in HB that only came out due to injury. Yes, Heck led the team down the field to score a td but it was basically garbage time. I just wish Iowa could be more dynamic on offense but the old captain won’t allow it by playing to not lose the game with his conservative style of play. KF 1.0
"Garbage time"? LOL
Ohio State's only loss this season was a game in which it led 23-3 entering the fourth quarter. No way in hell was Ohio State playing soft or playing reserves. That 75-yard TD drive Hecklinski directed was the most impressive QB play I've seen from a Hawkeye since Nate Stanley and Iowa's demolition of Ohio State nine years ago. Every single pass was delivered quickly and accurately with a tight spiral. The 2-pt. conversion pass was an impeccable display of timing and placement that was NFL quality. By contrast, Brown missed wide open receivers all day, and his passes were so wobbly that they even reviewed one to see if it was tipped. Nope. Just another wounded duck from KF's favorite game manager.
Even the
Press-Citizen reluctantly admitted that OSU had its starting defense in there. Remember kids' day? Heck outplayed Brown by a million miles, but it didn't matter, cuz KF--as usual--had his heart set on Brown, the ultimate game manager. Why do you think KF kept insisting that what happened last year--Brown losing the Indiana game--would have NO impact on this year's QB decision. The only player that statement helped was Brown. Hecklinski moved past him after that Indiana game failure, and Heck finished the season as the backup. You'd think that would have given HIM the edge this season. But no. Hell no. It was Brown all the way. Hecklinski is a playmaker. Brown is a caretaker who committed two huge turnovers vs. Ohio State. Take those two TOs away, and it's a whole different game.
Everybody knows KF has whiffed on every QB decision he's ever made, including Brad Banks, who went on to be the Heisman runner-up, a shock to KF. So why would this year be different?
