Moberly was better in HS than Kohl. He's still better than Kohl. You guys are overthinking it.

Really seems like Samas field vision has been subpar so far. After rewatching the 3 games, he has missed some wide open holes, especially during the UI game
Tough spot for Ark St. 2nd game in a row on the road vs a bigger more physical opponent. Hard to have much success in that situation. You have some speed and some guys, but just outmatched up the middle.
QB play also an issue, but he wont face this kind of defense again. Burn the tape, there are wins on the schedule to be had.
Good comment. I am expecting more from Sama. Jackson was very impressive against Iowa, but he is small. Sama cannot get away with his physical capabilities, because others on the defense maybe just as big, fast and strong.
Can’t disagree. Just pointing out that the 4 game redshirt could be an issue, albeit it a small one. In this day and age, just play your best players when needed and don’t worry about burning the redshirt so much.

Yeah, in today’s transfer portal world, sitting a player to keep his redshirt often means he’ll be using that year you saved somewhere else.
There was a small group of them near our tailgate, so they had a few fans there.
There was a time not too long ago we had a penchant for traveling well. After years of struggling to make the FBS transition, we got a coach that made us good, but not great. 6 wins a year every year, and NFL draftees every year, but couldn't get over the hump.
Then Hugh Freeze took over and we win 11 games year 1. He bounces. Gus comes in wins 10. He bounces. Brian Harsin comes in, we win 8. He bounces.
5 different head coaches in 5 years. NCAA record.
And then Blake Anderson did exactly what he did to Utah State. Won a bunch of games with someone else's players and then crashed the program.
We've had a rough decade unfortunately and it's impacted our fan base quite a bit.
Bingo! Nailed it.
Sorry... my ability to retire someday, and take some nice vacations in my life with family are MUCH more important than any athletic contest. So sue me. My life will go on just fine if Cyclone athletics cease to exist anymore. It's just entertainment for me... but so are a lot of other things.
What snarky comments? I half jokingly said if I had CW and Blum's kinda money I could donate... is that being snarky? Man... people need to lighten up.
Personally, do what you want with your money. I don’t give a **** about your ability to retire. But to point out to our “GM” about making sure our backup quarterback is paid, then explaining why you personally can’t donate is a very fascinating strategy
Wow, have threads gone wonky today. This is almost as bad as after a loss.
That's the difference between a senior and a true sophomore. Also, Jackson is undersized and has to rely on guile. He has honed his craft.
If Abu can learn when to take what is given and then when to turn it on he will become a dangerous weapon. Until then RB will be a three headed monster which I'm fine with.

I would guess that JJ is probably healthy and Moberly just beat him out. Coaches most likely left him out there to see what he could do in different situations.
Honestly... I do care about your ability to retire... I hope you can some day... unless you already have... then congrats to you!
My only point about saying we better start raising funds to pay Moberly is that you're crazy if you don't think other teams will be opening up their pocketbooks to lure him away from us every year. That's just today's climate. I hate it.. but it's how things are now. He's a good young talent at the most important position on the field.
Whether or not Cyclone fans dish out the cash that will be needed to keep him... I hope they can... but if not... so be it. Life goes on. My life won't be that affected if Moberly isn't our 2nd string QB next year and is somewhere else. If my life ever gets to the point where something like that would really affect me that negatively... I will need some therapy.
Exactly my thoughts. But I have no inside info at all.

We will have to wait and see what happens, but Moberly does look like he will be a damn good QB for us.
People are saying this game was the hottest they've ever been at? North Dakota was hotter and both the last two Iowa games at Trice were brutal.
There were a few that walked down the stands near us after we went up 14-0 and we jokingly said "leaving already" to which one of them responded "I can only take so much". We thought they were joking and just going to the concessions or something. They actually didn't come back.
