Someone like Purdy would knock him out of that system to because he's better at throwing the football. At the end of the day, this isn't about system fit, it's about Zeb not quite being a BCS level QB. That's why he was available when he was in Campbell's first class.
Thank you for your contributions and the great impact you had on the team and your teammates, Zeb!! We should all be thankful for what you did for the team and the way you represented Iowa State!
All the best in the future - where ever you decide to play, I will be following your progress!!

I'm pretty sure Lewis has a full-ride academic scholarship
it's a 4-year full tuition scholarship, so that would run out after this academic year. if he sticks around for a RS-Senior year, he probably wouldn't turn down full-ride athletic scholarship
Hadn't thought about it, but this makes sense as the running option has emerged as being so valuable for us. Seems like Zeb may have gotten caught in the middle of Kempt being the back-up throwing QB and Mitchell the running QB.
This is one of my new favorite gifs of all time. I'm watching it on repeat and have tears in my eyes. Right up there with Kane's pass off T-Rex's back.
Or the K-State Willie Wildcat kicking the kid at a party.
Was just about to post that Zeb is actually a nice fit in Iowa's system and based on the overreaction from their fan base after PSU, I think they would welcome him next week lol.
In all seriousness, I dont have anything against Zeb's decision and wish him the best. I hope he has a successful career at a non BigXII (or Iowa) program!
The brevity of Coach Campbell's comments make me wonder if he is less than thrilled with Zeb's decision. Clearly, he thinks a lot of Zeb and has invested a lot in him. Of course, he wants what's best for Zeb, but also for us.
Our luck, he’ll probably wind up at UNI & have a career day against us...
Messingham, currently the OC at North Dakota State, just followed Zeb
(edit to add more schools)
Eastern Kentucky, North Dakota, Central Michigan, Cornell, and Mercer are all following Zeb and vice versa. Zeb is following few Eastern Washington coaches

How did that guy get an oc job holy moly
he was at Montana State before NDSU. Not to shift all the blame elsewhere, but Rhoads had his hands in the offensive more than OCs needed them to. We were pretty bad while Mess was the OC, but he was left to run Herman's offense, which wasn't his, with Rhoads dictating what should be done. Not a position that allows you to win
He arguably did better as our OC running Tom Herman’s offense than Tom Herman given the the points/gm and punts/score.

App State's QB (Zac Thomas, sophomore) has been pretty decent this year. He'd still have to compete pretty closely and win the job if he goes there.
If he has been passed up by 3 guys in the depth chart, then it is understandable that he is leaving right away. I sincerely wish him the best. He seems like a good guy with some misfit skills that won't succeed here . What is irritating is that we have no offensive coordinator, poor special teams coaching, poor OL coaching, on going recruiting, freshmen players to train, injuries, playbook development, etc.. and Campbell is going to take time out from all this to help a guy who quit the team midseason to look for another place to play.
