You hope if we have a bad day the other has a great day? WTF?
Will we win another game this year without Park starting?

3 guys playing QB= 3 QB system.
Agreed. It's not that difficult, and for my money, 3 QBs in a game isn't a good plan.
The idea is that we’d rather have our great games when teams aren’t great. If OSU has a great game, they probably win even if we are good.
Last I counted there are 11 men on the offense, you game plan against what they can do as a unit. In game planning you are trying to throw wrinkles that cause the opponent to not be able to execute their plays. If we had executed against Texas we would have won. Instead we had 17 errant throws, a handful of sacks, and some dropped balls. Hopefully, park comes back able to execute but right now the unit seems to be able to execute well enough to beat a highly ranked opponent on their home turf. I like our chances in every game!
The Kempt QB'd ISU team relies on it's offensive playmakers, not forcing the QB to make plays. He's a facilitator and he's done a phenomenal job thus far.
There are some posters, not saying you, that continually repeat the line about teams will figure him out. Kempt can be successful doing the little things really well.
Brilliant!!! Cuz if Park comes back other teams will prolly forget there is 10x as much tape on him. They'll have to be like Texas and get lucky with their scheme. GGM use some common sense

Sounds like the run-pass option play that George Amundson and Keith Krepfle used to run with great success. Also George was a player that switched positions for a year.
We have enough wrinkles in our offense that will keep teams balanced. Kempt likes to make the easy throw and it's been pretty dang effective. He also throws the horizontal quick hitters to our WR's so that they are catching the ball as they are moving forward. Couple that with our WR's ability to block and those plays have become a really reliable one for our offense to run.
Can’t wait till tomorrow when someone makes the thread *will kempt win anymore games?*
I am hoping they never find a way to stop him, but based on OU having no tape on him and KU defending with 9 in the box in a monsoon there hasn't been a chance for a good DC to limit Kempt. TT appears to be somewhat better on defense this year, so this game could be interesting. I would expect a lot of 9 man fronts to limit Montgomery and horizontal passes. The coaches have done a good job of finding him things that work so far, so I guess we should stop doubting them until it becomes an issue.
When asked about injuries In Campbell's interview of 10/16, nothing was mentioned about Park being injured nor being unavailable to play.
I'm blown away by the **** people come up with on this board. I know the "Woe is us" mentality is pretty strong with ISU fans, but every day I come here and am still amazed at the posts I see that just emphasize what a sad bunch we can be.
OK, now that I got that off my chest. Why wouldn't we be able to win another game without him? We lost two winnable games with Park and without him, we won a game we should have and won another, against arguably the best team in the Big 12, that no one thought we had a chance in. I see no reason to think we won't win another game.
I like Park as a QB, I like to see him on the field and I certainly wish him the best, a full recovery and a speedy return. That bing said, I remember having this argument with people when Jantz was here though, the whole, "Greater upside" argument. Park does have that I suppose, he can really zip the football for sure, but, he makes a lot of mistakes as well. His "gunslinger" style of play can certainly get us wins when things go right, but when they go wrong, his style of play can be a big minus.
Kempt on the other hand, doesn't make many mistakes, throws a catchable ball and does a nice job of managing a game. I also like Kempt because it seems the coaches realize his limits, they don't send him out there with the idea of having him throw 50 passes a game. They aren't relying on him to be the sole carrier of the weight of the offense. It seems to have made the coaching staff more creative on how we gain yards. Plus, everything I've seen says Kempt throws one hell of a nice deep ball. May not have the zip that Park has, but he certainly puts the ball where it needs to be for our receivers to make a play.
I've finally come to the realization as an ISU fan that there is no reason to look at the negative before it happens. Just let it go and enjoy the game for what it is. We will win or we won't win, but right now, I don't see any reason to think that Kempt isn't capable of playing QB in the Big 12. So far, all he has done is win games. Until he proves me wrong, I'll go ahead an believe in him.

I hope you stay home and suffer a power outage during our bowl game.
Still sticking with my original 7-5 prediction for the seasons. I think 8-4 is more likely, and yes that's with Kempt starting. He makes better reads than Park. We didn't get to see Kempt against Texas but I'd place money on him making faster decisions than Park did.
As I have said in other threads I hope Park gets better, and I also hope he makes his way back to the team, but if it's drugs, I doubt he's back.
