Spencer Petras vs Zach Wilson
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
Not sure I would be willing to push my chips all in on a performance by a Sophomore QB playing behind a patch work offensive line but you do you.
Okay! Lol your point over who is better does not change. You’re comparing a senior QB to a sophomore QB using data from one single game. And not even statistics within that game. You’re using win / loss, which although matters, it does not tell you who actually played better.
Didn’t both our TD’s come on long passing plays? And didn’t we pick apart the Iowa defense all game long but failed to put up points in the red zone because Iowa’s defense was very good in that area? We also didn’t even have a run game at all as Breece was still getting his feet under himself...
I’m not saying Stanley is better lol. But the gap between him and Purdy isn’t humongous like everyone says.
A trick play and a play that the freshman corner got lost. If Hankins starts ISU might’ve put up 3 points like they did in 2018...
Lol the point stands that Purdy couldn’t get it done against Iowa’s #5 redshirt freshman DB starting his first collegiate game.
Both TD's were long pass plays at our fifth best corner. One was the double pass and the other was really early in the 3rd quarter off play action.
Other than the 2 TD drives, here are the drives for the ISU offense that day. ISU ran 5 plays all game inside Iowa's red zone and they were all on the same drive that ended with a FG.
6 plays, 29 yards, punt
7 plays, 32 yards, punt
5 plays, 22 yards, fumble lost by Purdy
8 plays, 45 yards, punt
3 plays, 0 yards, punt
13 plays, 66 yards, FG
6 plays, 36 yards, turnover on downs at the Iowa 39
You realize if they don't call the holding call we win right?
This is exactly what you think of Stanley. Why would you his name for a username then?
If it was a 40 yard dash, I'm pretty sure the Purdy would smoke Stanley.
Can you believe Iowa State let that dude go 3-0 against them? Embarrassing.
Hawks battled through it. Purdy over threw his guy by several yards on the play after the offsetting penalties.
Lol just looked that. He got mugged
A game where ISU moved the ball at will without Breece Hall. The trick play worked because ISU was getting 7 yards a pop and Iowa had it's hands full stopping our base offense with their base defense. If Breece Hall wasn't two games into his career and allowed to Breece Hall it would have been worse. Iowa somehow escaping the onslaught largely unscathed is not unheard of under Ferentz, but it's kind of a weird flex to hang your hat on getting out gained handily and winning on a few lucky breaks. But hey, that's Iowa for ya. ISU has only gotten better in every way except kicking with a much higher ceiling. Iowa is still languishing in mediocrity, stale, and basic with underwhelming talent. All things equal you are outclassed. Only a matter of time until things shake out as they are destined to. Cyclone fans wouldn't trade places with Hawkeye fans going forward for anything right now, and if you disagree you are kidding yourself.
You don’t see the number 5 next to his name?
Look at how much white jersey is being pulled... I mean his jersey is practically coming untucked on this mugging.
