I said total yards. Wadley is a complete back and dangerous out of the backfield as a receiver. Montgomery is pretty one dimensional and would be hard to trust during crunch time given he almost fumbled away a bowl victory.

Not saying he won't be good, but I wouldn't say he was that impressive against a terrible OSU defense. He did throw a ball up for grabs at a very critical time in the game that resulted in a game clinching INT for OSU.
To answer your questions: Kyle Kempt is the best QB in the state
Suddenly a difference of 50 receiving yards makes one "not a complete back"... Alright. Namely when one of the receptions for Wadley was a 68-yarder against powerhouse North Texas and another was 70 yards in a losing effort to Penn State (clutch).
How many fumbles did Wadley lose this year? I know for fact that Montgomery (and the entire team, for that matter) lost only one [
].
That was a bad decision, no doubt. Not surprised as it was his first major playing time.
And calling the OSU defense "terrible" might be a stretch. Noland threw for right about the average of what OSU gave up per game passing in just over 3 quarters of PT, not bad considering OSU played against some of the best passing offenses in the country.
Beat a ranked Memphis in bowl game. Rankings don’t mean anything.
My team is very good & better than yours! - see their ranking?
Wadley didn’t sniff any All-B1G teams, DM was 1st team all-conference.
Total passing offense: ISU 30th
Total passing offense: Hocks 93rd
I really think Iowa only being able to pass to TEs & their run game not being very good has really angered & frustrated them a ton. The Bettendorf WR committing to us who is in the mold of a faster version of Lazard has sent them over the precipice. Can’t say I blame any WRs not wanting to play for Iowa.

Yeah, Stanley is great as is the Hock offense.

Montgomery gained almost half of his rushing yards (550 out of 1146) on the season in 4 games against TTU, BU, Akron and WVU. Texas Tech was the strongest rushing defense of any of those 4 teams if that tells you anything.
The average ranking of those 4 teams rush defense is 90.
Texas Tech- 62
Baylor- 91
West Virginia- 103
Akron- 105
Seriously, why cant you answer the questions? Your only argument requires you to move the goalposts and claim moral victories. Never change, ISU fan...never change.
I think it's pretty safe to say that the ISU run-blocking OL was......not good. He rarely had holes to run through. Makes that 1,100 yard season that much more impressive.
How many fumbles did wadley have his first two years? How many did he lose? Answer 3/3. Montgomery has in his first two years 2/2. The stats between the two aren't even close. In wadley's first two he had a total of 7 for a total of 93 yards. Has had 49 in his first two for a total of 425 yards.
Oh for crying out loud are you serious with this statement?? Did you even watch the bowl game? Kempt was given a high snap and barely got it to Montgomery who didn't have a great handle on the ball. He managed to score crossing the goal line, replay shows it was a TD, yet somehow the officials thought this was a fumble and failed to overturn an easy TD call. My hawk buddy even said this was a TD. So, he had 1 fumble on the year, which wasn't even a fumble and you want to come on here and say you don't trust a guy late in the game? I don't trust your judgement.
It's tougher to get to NY6 bowl when you can't skip past a top 15 team or 3 in a given season.
