Having this argument with a friend..who is a bigger loss, and why?
Really two questions here I would bet:
1) Hoks will miss Wadley more because he is all they had this year.
2) Lazard is a more valuable player and will make much more on Sundays next year.
You might be thinking of Peavy. I haven't heard any rumblings about Butler thinking of leaving.Wasn’t Butler exploring the NFL? If the Clones lose both that would be trouble. At any rate, I’d say Wadley was the bigger loss but it’s close. Having booth Butler and Lazard was big
How so?
Honorable mention all-Big 10 QB that comes back.
Honorable mention TE.
Two freshman tackles that will only get better.
A freshman WR who looks good (For Iowa's standards, anyway)
Iowa's offense is only going to get better.
I think he signed up to get an evaluation, but it seemed more like a "what have I got to work on to impress the scouts" move more than a sign he's entering the draft.Wasn’t Butler exploring the NFL?

Without Montgomery running the ball, Lazard doesn't get as many opportunities for catches. And in addition to Lazard's 140something yards, Butler had 100+ yards for the game today. He's important, no doubt. But it's a team effort.I don't know...my main argument was Iowa is always best when it has a bruising running back to wear down a defense, and then a shifty back (Daniels and Wadley two years ago)
Lazard is the best player to touch foot on campus in the last 10+ years for ISU. Half of your big plays seem to be jump balls to him.
If ISU doesn't find a better answer at QB than KK, Lazard for sure. Guy caught 10 passes and I would guess 5 were on target. Butler is talented, but he had 3 or 4 today that he didn't catch that Lazard would have.
Not a slam on KK, but he was not very good today, and got bailed out a lot. Guy did some great stuff for ISU this year. Maybe he is still a little hurt, but his passes today were mostly wounded ducks.
