All Iowa Football Team---Post Bowl Edition

[Legend Hawk]

I was agreeing with you in the comp statement. Purdy has really changed this team, he is similar to kempt in that he doesn't get crazy from a mistake. He also goes to his play makers, Zeb would sometimes try to find the "right" guy instead of sometimes just putting it up for butler or jones and saying, go get it. That is why they are play makers, they make it happen, let them do it.

He is different in he can run, this allows montgomery to have more space. I wondered if Zeb was told not to run since KK was hurt, but thinking back to last year, he did not run then either. The play that soured me on zeb (I think it was OU) was a zone read where he handed off and did a nice job with the play fake, only issue was he went 20 yards with nobody even looking at him since they knew he wouldn't keep the ball.

I totally agree about a running QB in CMC system. I think ultimately QB is the biggest drawback of the spread offenses. You simply have to have a good QB who is able to run period. Yet if they are JUST a running QB or JUST a passing QB, the offense isn't as good. You gotta find that guy who can run and can make defenses pay with his arm as well. So yeah I agree Purdy is better than Kempt or Zeb at that.

This is why Jantz was king of the hawks. Iowa basically played a tampa two type defense then. Jantz was very dangerous with his legs, when not fumbling off them. He would force the safeties to come up and if you remember, he would drop a long pass over the top of the safeties. He was big enough to take a hit and that was helpful.

Other teams could take away Jantz by basically forcing him to run and drilling him downfield. They wouldn't suck up and let the over the top pass happen.

That made me laugh. Speaking of Manziel is him or Baker the best comp for Purdy in terms of playing style only

I’d lean Manziel. Granted I haven’t seen much of Purdy.

When is the last time both Iowa and Iowa State have been ranked in the preseason? I think we are headed in that direction for next season.

I love Iowa fans are hopping on the CMC and Purdy hype train!

It’s more a product of playing in such a weak conference for me- If Iowa State doesn’t win at least 8 games in the down Big XII, I’d be pretty surprised.

You realize ISU is going to have a tougher SOS than Iowa this year right?

Lol something like that

You do realize that if your first game wasn't cancelled your SOS wouldn't be as high right now right?

Next time post this in response to Twins using the Eno troll again, not the response to his troll

As soon as you guys aren't so obsessed I will.

Probably higher cuz we would have beaten a 4-3 ISU instead of the 3-3 "handicapped" version.

Sagarin, the AP poll, PFF, pretty much everyone on the planet agrees with this.
