Yeah I like Kempt. Non-drama queen. I wonder how Kempt will do under Texas like blitzes. Obviously, Park didn't handle pressure very well. I wonder if Kempt is more calm (step forward) in the pocket.

He doesn't have the talent but this is why you start a senior over a freshman. He knew what to do and didn't get rattled. Threw where he was supposed to and gave our good group of receivers a chance on all but one ball that I remember.

BECause we have montgomery and Lanning I don’t think it matters as much that he doesn’t seem to run the greatest.

General Manager Matt Campbell was smart enough to go out and get a solid backup. As Bruns just said on the postgame, this win was set in motion months ago. This staff is legit. We've got players, but we have some pretty damn good coaches too.

Park is still the better QB. He’s got NFL talent and he was a blue chipper out of high school for a reason.

Fantastic game by kept, though. Needed to do what back ups should.

I wasnt sure early. His first throw was weak and late and missed Montgomery on what should have been a touchdown. But from then on he was fantastic. He looked better than park from then on. He was calm and finished the game with a perfect pass to lazard.

Kempt a 5th year senior?

Think of all of the practices, the early morning weight lifting, conditioning, team and position meetings that guy must have sat through ever wondering if he'd get a shot. Today was finally that day.

I was thinking this the whole game

I don't think this team needs a flashy qb. It just needs someone to get the ball to play makers and make smart plays. Today, Kempt did just that.

That's what I saw. A guy calmly making the plays that he has the ability to make. He may not throw the thirty yard out off his back foot, but he can put it where our guys have the chance to catch it.

Yeah, buddy. That is how a good football program operates. Plug and play. I hope Iowa State grows into an amazing football program.
