I said take away a 6'5 NFL WR who draws attention from a safety, replace him with Epps/Eaton/Jalen/Akers/etc, that changes the entire field. You are actually debating this point? Parks stats are mediocre with Lazard. He is closer to Meyer and Arnaud than Sage and Seneca. And don't try to compare passer ratings from the pre-helmet-to-helmet-defenseless-WR era. Marino & Elway's numbers would be bottom 1/3 of the league in todays game.
Park was on pace to statistically be one of the best quarterbacks in ISU history before the Texas game....
