All Iowa/Iowa State team

[CyTwins]

You can't really do worse than laying an egg in a bowl game like Beathard always does. I said before Beathard is probably better than Lanning but not by much

Deeper backfield? Warren is a better RB than Iowa has had since Wadley has been in Iowa City. Warren gets a lot of carries and yes he has fumbled in two critcal moments. One was a great fumble, the other sucked.

Beathard sucks in bowl games, should I use that as an argument that Lanning is better?

Warren starts, when it's the final drive with a minute less, Daniels is in.

I don't think a single Iowa poster has honestly said its not Warren first. Only that the gap isn't huge.

Besides the one that said Iowa's back up RB is more talented than Warren and the others saying it's debatable. I genuinely didn't know Hawkeye fans thought he was good considering he didn't play much last year. Lots of Kool Aid being drank after beating a bottom feeder MAC team apparently

Whatever fits your narrative. Simply saying I don't think the talent gap is as massive as you are suggesting, but that's pretty much par for the course for you.

I thought I heard Iowa is starting a freshman center, is that true? If so, I would guess Bobek would probably start at center for them

I don't think the talent gap between Beathard and Lanning is that big

And 984 rushing yards is quite a bit less than what Mike Warren did with a worse OL.

I can literally give you 100 examples why Mike Warren is the best RB in the state. Stats, accolades, etc will back that up. Please give me one reason or example to explain why someone would say Iowa's back up RB is better than a highly regarded RB like Warren

Because if you watch the two play it's clear to anyone

All you have to do is watch both of them play and judge them off talent as opposed to stats (I know you don't know a whole lot about football and always revert to citing statistics). Wadley has elite elusiveness and short-area burst, is turning into a dangerous receiver out of the backfield, and has very good vision. The only area he struggles in is pass protection, which is to be expected for a smaller back.

Warren doesn't have any elite traits. He's a very good running back, but does not have the dynamic explosiveness that Wadley does.

Been a rough weekend, I get it.

 

[EarthIsMan]

How many more career fumbles does Warren have than Wadley?

No idea. But if the game's on the line, not real sure I'd want the ball in Warren's hands.

In 128 career carries Wadley has 3 fumbles (2.34%) where as Warren has 5 fumbles in 239 career carries (2.09%).

James Daniels is a True Soph. He will be playing on Sundays in 3 years. He is the first center that I can remember pulling on sweeps and counters. Very impressive athlete.

Ok I'm getting trolled. Well done

Warren's also racking up stats against pretty atrocious rush D's.

Congrats.

ISU had 51 rushing yards against UNI. Not a great argument for ISU OLinemen.

 

[CyTwins]

Congrats.

It's clear watching them both play. Throw stats out the window, Beathard doesn't have any elite traits

Clearly. Stats mean nothing. Lanning is going to play on Sundays.

Handing it if off to Wadley clearly
