Rain didnt Seem to bother USC’s qb or WR’s. Some nice throws and catches.

Is Hecklinski a million dollar guy? Wasn’t he a backup at Wake Forest? QB is the most important position player on the field on offense and Kirk either doesn’t care or we’re in such a bad position because of the last 5 years nobody wants to come here. I love Gronowski’s leadership and toughness but man your QB has got to be able to throw the ball. I also am convinced Kirk thinks he can just keep playing the way he wants to play and eventually mediocre QB will even out and we’ll win some of these.
Unfortunately we were stupid enough to blow a good chunk of that limited NIL war chest on damaged goods….
Wish we would have spent that money elsewhere (WR/LB) and just kept Sullivan….
I can't tell if this is sarcasm but pick any mac team and tell me Iowa has a better passing attack. I haven't looked at any stats but I'd be surprised if any of them are worse.
It might be better than NIU and UMass. Which is, of course, proof that we just need to keep doing what we're doing with the passing attack.
And yes, my previous sentence was sarcasm.
He's accounted for 20 of Iowa's 30 TD's. What's your definition?
The defense has carried the team.
Over 10 of those are QB sneaks at the goal line. He is solid with the tush push
My coworker was a coach of one of the current QBs on the roster.
They said Mark was a hell of a player, but his arm never looked right in summer ball.
And your point makes sense. Unless he’s extremely nervous, he has looked little better early and then as game goes on the line drives into the ground….
He handed the defense a lead against Oregon, after a 97 yard drive with under 2 minutes to go and a 21-7 lead over USC and the defense gave up both. If he doesn't get dinged we beat Indiana.
Three of those receivers have a lot of separation but the ball is thrown WAAAYYYY too late. That dude running the post has 5 yards on his guy and that is a TD with most Power4 QBs. The problem here is definitely not the receivers. MG stands untouched and unpressured holding the balls while his receivers run open, then makes a horrible throw.
And MG wasn't even under any kind of real pressure on that play
Go get that kid at UTSA. Dude could run and throw. Daddy was an NFL QB.
So those kind of plays are absolute killers to this offense. Coordinator draws up a perfect play, QB has all day, receiver gets open and your transfer QB that’s been playing football for 5 years misses him by a mile. So while people say we got to conservative in the 2nd half if he hits that pass it’s a 65 yard TD. Along with the turnover on the bad pass to Gill. Another drive killer. Just can’t happen.
Mark spent 4 years playing on one of the two most talented teams in FCS. Everything was laid out in front of him. I think the “Ferentz coached it out of him” line is mostly ********. This offense, hell, any high level offense needs a QB willing to squeeze the ball into tight windows and with anticipation. Mark just isn’t that guy. Maybe someday we’ll have it again.
I know but the memz still linger. I think BTN still replays one of his games as an Iowa "classic".
Ya that has worked out well. In the rain, Ducks run for 280 yds and USC threw for an easy 250 and did whatever they wanted.
Without Gronk this team is 4-6.
