POST Arnaud? Looks like someone has forgotten Phil Bates and Jerome Tiller.
lol, who's the official #2 now, need to know who I'm rooting for to come in and save the day next week.
We've all seen this a lot over the years, but this one feels different. We all knew Kempt's limitations, and Zeb has looked good at times, but never really knocked my socks off. It's definitely possible Purdy comes out and lays an egg next week, but everything just seemed to work a lot better when he was in there today. He looked like a legit D1 QB out there.
Very good point. Having Montgomery to worry about as well will make a difference.
I think the thing that impressed me most, outside of his run ability, was how accurate his passes were. Nice touch on the deep ball, minus the one int, and another I can remember to Butler.
I know this play isnt sustainable, but crazier things have happened. Just not at ISU

This is how I felt. And quite honestly, the INT wasn’t AWFUL. It was a 50/50ball that would have gone to Eaton (I think that was the receiver) if Purdy was able to get it about six inches further.
Richardson would have turned out a lot better under a different staff.
I don’t see the current circumstance or situation as negative. It’s not as though Kempt and Noland have failed. Kempt is injured and Noland had one bad game. But the staff clearly has more confidence in Purdy and that makes a difference.

Phil's situation was frustrating. The guy is an athlete and we all thought he'd be great in the slot like Austin Flynn, but then a situation arose with comments like Wes Johnson in bball. Phil goes to Ohio and I remember that Boo Williams looked a lot better, so then what happens? Phil plays WR and some slot and makes the NFL.
The main thing that would make him the guy would be that I thought his mobility simply fit ISU's scheme better.
Let's see what happens next week after WV has a week to prep for him, and vice versa.

There's a reason Purdy got a chance in the first place. He has earned this in practice, this isn't just another flash in the pan. Purdy is for real. Be ready for more of the same and better when Montgomery is back and the team gels with the new leader.
I remember when we thought Steele Jantz was going to be the man. What Purdy did today was impressive and definitely raises some questions. But like others have said we do this a lot with quarterbacks. Lets give him another start or two and see how it goes. Was really hoping he would get a shot and put in a performance like this.
The main thing I see with Purdy I like is he threatens the defense in several ways. He can make all the throws just as Zeb can. But he also can run the ball as well. If he gets help from his teammates I think theres no limit on what he can do.
