Hanks health
- Thread starter BigAssTurkeyLeg
- Start date
Hawks are gonna call up some kids from Wartburg for next week
If Heck doesn’t start, he needs 2 drives of hurry up as a surprise.( I personally think Hank is overrated).
I know that ohio st was playing soft coverage when#10 came in but the decision making was better than anything we've seen from #9 all season
Hanks played fine until today. I guess it took one week to forget some of the throws he made at Michigan. Like you said OSU played soft coverage on Hecks drive. Yet of course we're going to throw the baby out with the bath water. Typical.....

Good luck with your riot in the great Northwest.....
Was Drew Tate like fingernails on a chalk board for KF? If so, why did he go along with him as QB? KOK?
Except he hasn't! He put the ball in danger 3 times on the final drive against Michigan 2 of them should have been picked off & not to mention us getting bailed out by the penalty after doing nothing previously!
he made 1 throw against Ia st. that allowed him to keep playing!
Not to mention he's missed diaz wide open at least 3 or 4 times for TD's

He certainly seemed to be much more comfortable and accurate passing on the move, which would have been a huge help against Ohio's pass rush all night.
This was the first game he outplayed Hank. That is a fact.
Hank earned the starting position and I wouldn’t be against seeing heck if Brown struggles the first two or three drives but we know that’s not happening so not really worth debating
“Hanks played fine until today. I guess it took one week to forget some of the throws he made at Michigan.”
I was wearing the Hawkeye glasses all week. But let’s be serious, Hank almost had like 3 interceptions last week. Hank is safe for the 2 yard check down. Heck is looking down field. I would rather loose throwing the dice.
In the end, I love the Hawks, Kirk and hope #4 tears his ACL in his next Heisman pose. ( I personally have torn 3).

Not really a fair deal when #10 gets to come into the game to "compete" for the starting job with 2nd string O line & 2nd and 3rd string WR's is it?
If #10 was good enough last year to earn the back up spot I've seen nothing from #9 that makes me feel good.
Hank has looked great when we have played far inferior opponents and our running game looked phenomenal. He’s looked mediocre (game manager) when our running game isn’t gashing the defense. Technically only one int but he’s had multiple fumbles (yes, only one lost) and multiple throws that should have been picked. Again, I’m not sure which QB is ultimately better, but we may have anointed Hank too soon. Granted, at some point we Absolutley had to get on with picking QB1. But hindsight, Heck always seemed to get the short end of the game circumstance (WR drops, lesser running game, no starts, etc). I still shake my head at the horrible Int he threw against northern Illinois in the end zone, but he definitely does have a more “just let it rip” mentality. I suspect we’d have a good number of “WTF” moments with either QB this year.
regardless…. Here we are again (for now). The offense has looked poor against all decent competition so far…yay…
