Hank or Heck?

[Passing Is For COMMIES]

Iowa was an underdog to Washington,on the road,short week,West coast, Washington ranked in top 20 at start of season,ahead of hawks....not tough enough?
Heck also drove the team down the field for td vs #5 OSU....not tough enough?

I guess heck has to prove it vs Seattle seahawks to pass muster?

They’re 0-3 in the big ten and struggled in every non conference game. They’re terrible. I don’t care what their preseason ranking was, that doesn’t magically make them not suck. Will be lucky to get 5 wins this year. And you’re correct, I don’t care about 5 passes in garbage time against OSU.

We don’t coach our QBs to scramble or even “take what you can get when nothing is there.”

Hank looked like he’s capable.

Hecklinski? Zero rushing statistics this past game. How is that even possible?? B/c Iowa…..

This idea fans have that Hank is a statue and Heck is a runner is more fantasy than reality.

QBs that scramble get hurt.
This weekend UCLA, Illinois,Oregon, Washington,iowa ...all had #1 QBs hurt....that's just the BIG...
Heck needs to avoid contact

Do you even watch the games?
Accuracy in passes is critical.
Heck has been very accurate vs OSU and Washington.
Hank ? Not so much.
Ride the hot hand.

Plus I think avoiding sacks by moving around in the pocket is maybe where Heck excels. Which is also why he passed well - he keeps eyes downfield while dancing in the backfield.

They also, quite often, DON’T get hurt.

Iowa doesn’t (and never does sans CJ Beathard) have a quarterback we can’t go without b/c we don’t ask them to do much as it is. Use. The. Legs.
