I think Banks would say himself that he didn't have his best game against Iowa. It could have been even worse than it was because he let receivers get behind him a couple of times for what would have been touchdowns, but Stanzi overthrew them. Then his personal foul on the Iowa sideline showed a total mental lapse. In his defense, the touchdown pass he gave up in the north endzone really wasn't a bad play - as John Walters said, the push-off from Iowa's receiver seemed pretty obvious.

Oh well, I'll bet you anything that Banks comes back with a vengence this weekend.

One thing everyone is overlooking, is the fact that Banks had a handful of DJK's jersey on the td.

Pretty sure CPR said that Banks could have returned but they decided to get some other guys in. Lets cross our fingers and hope this line up gets it done in Kent, Ohio.

They were picking on Banks from the start. He looked confused out there and then he had that dumb hit out of bounds. I do think that the iowa guy pushed off on the TD catch that Banks got hurt on.

Banks isn't a good cover corner. He just isn't. It's to bad we didn't try and make him into a safety because he appears to have talent.

I would like to see Benton out there with McDowell coming in on the nickle plays. Or even Reeves. Banks has just looked bad the first two games, which is disappointing because our others members have the secondary have been solid IMO

Banks seems more like a SS to me... idk, just my thought and I'm far from a DI coach...

And that late hit out of bounds was just unbelievably ********.

This, Good deal stanzi isn't very accurate on the longball or the score would have been 50 somethin to 3 :confused:.

The play in the endzone was still pretty bad. He just put his hands up and let DJK go grab it, instead of turning his head and making a play on the ball. Let McDowell and Benton play!

At this point in the season last year, we wanted LJ kicked off the team (for other reasons)

KB will turn around.

No we didn't. A select few drama queens on the board did.

And nobody is saying kick KB off the team. Just that he doesn't appear to be a guy that can cover an average WR one on one. He got beat 100% of the time on Saturday and all day against the Bison as well

thank you for pointing this out. set me in my place a bit. because after the first two games this year i am ready to hold on campus tryouts for our second corner position opposite LJ. the only tackle i have seen KB make all season was 3 seconds late and 5 yards out of bounds. but maybe i should wait another week or two before walking to the edge of the cliff.

Man, that's dissapointing. I was hoping they could put the redshirt on him and we'd have him as a jr./sr. when the schedule allows us to make a run. :sad:


Yeah, but he's done pretty well when in the game, so lets get our best players on the field this year when we have a chance to win a few.

We need to over recruit a lot of positions by the time he is a JR/SR so hopefully we can always find someone better. Im glad he's good enough to give us time as a freshman.
