I give Zebb the start until Kempt is healthy, or Zebb proves it's his job to lose on the field.
Well, it’s true that fans remember the most recent performance the most, but that’s not unique to first time Iowa State QBs on CF. It’s the same for any head coach or prominent player.Not my judgement, it's an observation based on years of visiting this board. I'm not chiming in to say that Zeb didn't play good, I think he did. I just find it funny how this type of thread pops up, then half a season more and that QB is the reason for all of our woes and the backup should play. Wash, rinse repeat.
This isn't a judgement on any QB, it's about some fans.
In a situation where a young guy and a senior seem to be at similar levels, then I would think you default to youth and build for the future....I would really hope next year is the year we "pop" (even more than this year) with the full weight of Campbell's recruiting kicking in, even if we are losing some pieces with a ton of experience from the Rhoads era.

I agree It is freakin amazing we are on our 4th string qb and we had a chance yesterday. How many teams can do that in the NCAA?Got to really give the coaching staff very high marks on having the QBs ready to step in and play. Just imagine how good WVU, TTU, OU, or OSU would score with their 3rd string QBs in these games?
Hadn't seen that. I just thought it was kinda weird that they knew about it all week, but then it was all of a sudden so bad that he had to take his pads off, after leading us to two TDs.

Pass plays are good. Fade pass plays at the goal line are not.It's ironic how posters can post how great our coaches are in one line then complain about their play calling in the next. CMC said the reason for the passes was the fact we only had 40+ seconds and no timeouts. While I hated to see how the game ended I am very pleased with what this team showed through out the game, coming back time after time after getting behind early in the first half. Hoping KK's shoulder issue gets better as we will need both for the last two games and a bowl game.

I'd feel pretty good about going into next season with Zeb as our #1, but if Park isn't back next year, we HAVE to bring in a transfer or JUCO or something. No way can we have Moore and Re-al Mitchell as our back up QB options next year IMO. They just aren't ready.
Agree about the tie going to the freshman.
That’s the disappointing thing about all these close losses, and in particular the phantom INT. We are so close to having that “pop” year in Year 2, and the momentum would have made future success tangibly easier imo.
8-4 and a bowl game does that too (not as much as 9-3 or 10-3, but still outstanding for year two).
Yeah my bad. Spelling and names are not my strongest suit.No biggie, but it's Zeb, not Zebb.
Haven't seen a depth chart all season listing Zeb below #2.

Didn't multiple qbs play in the same seasons at Toledo? I mean this staff just can flat out coach and whatever they decide to do at QB I'm fine with.CMC and his staff our unbelievable. Our QB situation this year speaks volumes to their ability to develop players. It is pretty clear that the kids throughout the whole program are working hard and getting better every week, not just the number 1s. Not just scholarship players, but walkons too. It kids love the process... It is not just a line.
If Park does not come back, do they bring in a grad transfer or juco for extra QB depth? With Moore not being 100% until next year and Mitchell being a freshman, would they need an extra for backup?
