let's just throw the season down the drain right now! it's not like we went to a bowl game last year because we had a bad game against Iowa right?
It is obvious that AA has consistent accuracy problems when throwing down field. The reason his completion percentage is kinda OK is because they throw so many bubble screens and short passes to the running backs behind the line (which they abandoned today and will go back to next week in KC). His tendancy to force throws into tight coverage is his biggest fault and it is not because of the "3 coaches in 5 years" excuse. He has played enough under fire to have solved that issue by now. Watch an NFL QB sometime, most of the time after they throw...they get nailed. Iowa is VERY GOOD. This game was over at the end of Iowa's second position, the fans, coaches, announcers and most of all the players all knew it. The reason they stuck with AA the whole way was to score a TD against the Hawks so they could get that out of the media's attention next year in Ames. Rhoades and Herman did not recruit AA or Tiller and are struggling with what they have available. I also think AA having grown up in Ames really kills himself over this game and it shows. I hope the fans do not get on him personally, he has worked very hard and probably is getting all he has to offer. Coaches want to win and he is our best shot or they would be playing someone else, believe me. We are 1-1 and lost by about the same to Iowa both years under CPR...save your anxiety for two weeks. Building a program is not easy.
If that is the best QB we have then our future is bleak
you must be too young to rememberYou pull for ISU football - how is your outlook on the future any different today than it was say 1 year ago, 5 years ago, 20 years ago.............

Yeah I'm only 30 so the good o' days are probably a bit different for me
I am a bit torn on this situation. I think Austin Arnaud probably gives us the best chance to win games right now. The problem is that the offense clearly hasn't "clicked" yet for him, and he has shown no signs that he is ready to turn the corner. If he is not going to get the offense under wraps and get things figured out, maybe it is time to start looking for someone else to run the show. As of now it feels like every snap taken by Arnaud is a wasted rep for someone who may be able to lead us in the future.
