Well, Iowa is well above a mediocre program. Actually are one of those good programs that you speak of.
So what's your point, other than you can't get some sort of KF hatred out of your heart?
Is this the year we have a 300 yard passing game?
- Thread starter QChawks
- Start date

I don't get hung up on the 300 yard thing. Wins are all that matter.
However, having an effective and efficient passing game is imperitive in today's football. It can be argued that Iowa's lack of an effective and efficient passing attack is directly responsible for multiple losses over the past several seasons. That is NOT saying those seasons as a whole were not good, or that Hawk fans should not be happy.
Since every game is HUGE, 1 loss can make a big difference as to whether a team qualifies for its conference championship game or even the playoffs.

Good one!
You're right about the thread's title, but the original post says "passer." Regardless, I'm good with a productive offense contributing to Ws, regarding of whether they hit 300 yards passing individually or collectively.
Stanley got some well-earned criticism, but he was a solid B1G QB, and I don't think anyone ever called for him to be benched in favor of Peyton Mansell, Ryan Schmidt, Petras/Padilla or whatever other garbage we had on the bench during his tenure. And I think I agree with most that he is more appreciated now, due to the joke at the QB position Iowa had for the following 5 years after he left.
I remember a lot of people in my life saying he sucked. Most of those people wish he was back nowadays.
If they had the 4 games red shirt rule prior Stanley plays during Covid and I truly believe Iowa wins first 2 and would’ve been 8-0 playing OSU in big 10 title game.
looking back especially for Iowa standards we were pretty stacked offensively. Goodson, Sargent, ism, Brandon smith, Charlie jones, La porta/beyer at TE and OL with Jackson, kallenberger & linderbaum. Weak spot Qb. Odd thing was Petras first game at Purdue was the most passing yards he ever threw in his Iowa career.

Tate stat was surprising he only did it once.Surprising stat of the day -
Chuck Long threw for 300 yds in a game FIVE times in his career.
Brad Banks did in once. Drew Tate did it once.
Chuck Hartlieb had SEVEN - which is the Iowa record.
To add on. Scott Mullen had 3 300+ and one was for 400+ vs IU in 99’. Next season Jon “the future” beutjer threw his lone 300+ game against IU.
300 yards passing is not needed in our scheme. 200 would be nice with about 150 on the ground and 33 min with the ball and a 21 pt lead 
Also... this. KF doesn't care about any of this. Just winning. It would help him out a lot if we can move the ball consistently and keep the defense off the field.
There are bad spread teams that can throw the ball but lose, there are very few bad teams that can run the ball effectively.
arbitrary stats are garbage compared to Wins and Losses. Fans aren’t smart
You can't expect football fans to understand the most fundamental of 150+ year truths
With our current offense as well as our current QBs not likely at all. The only way I see it even remotely possible is if theres a game where we get way behind and have to throw every down. Any of the soft games, we will run it down their throats. Now if the question was 300 yard rushing game, I would say heck yes, multiple ones
If Iowa gets a 300 yard passing game it will probably include something like a 5 yard out that goes for 90.
Brad Banks' lone 300+ game included the epic 95 yard pass to Dallas Clark that Clark caught on the 5 and took it to the house. That was 95 yards of Banks' 378 yards that day.

I started watching with HartLeib. Was surprised he did not make it in nfl. He was great in college. Chuck long years i missed i was racing bmx all over Iowa , not watching sportsSurprising stat of the day -

Fans are not smart but they sure do think they can rule the world. They think they could coach it better.
Scott Mullen v IU - 36/60 for 426 yds. But all I seem to remember about that game is Randle El.

There were calls for Padilla and even Petras if I recall correctly. The usual the back up QB is always a better answer than the starter when he struggles type of stuff.
This. Another reason context is important. As great as that team looks historically we very well could have lost that game to a pretty meh Purdue team.
Well, I supposed there may have been SOME of that, because like you said, that's what fans do. But nothing like the deserved calling out of Petras/Deacon/Cade. A vast majority of fans recognized that Stanley was a solid B1G QB and by far the best choice we had during his tenure, despite his faults.
I don't believe 300 yd passing games are as important as explosive pass plays are.
In my opinion I would say that this is the most important passing stat and arguably overall offensive stat -> College Football Player Stats - Yards Per Pass Thrown
Iowa needs to first get on that list. The higher, the better chance at a playoff birth.
This stat is also one of the top indicators for NFL teams making the Superbowl.
And yes, of course run the ball............but without a high YPA it will be tough getting into the playoffs
