Game Week!!

I'm going to take the Twitter accounts word over yours. Sorry

What does Stanley's 47% completion percentage have to do with Iowa not needing to throw in the second half

Iowa’s passing game is geared to play action. In the 2nd half, the backs were gashing the NIU defense, particularly in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Stanley could have made hay with play action but it wasn’t needed.

As I said, the one area of the game in which I was disappointed was Nathan Stanley.
 
I actually noticed that myself, he rocketed that ball into a pretty good spot through zone D. Execution was excellent, plus the added bonus of the cannon arm.

Let the speculation of newly-discovered cannon arm vs. "one good throw" begin!

They said he added 20 lbs in the off-season. Appears a lot of that was upper body strength.

So he would have just had more incomplete passes if he had to throw more
 
Look for what? You said Hockenson was better than any TE Iowa State has had in your lifetime. Bibbs at Iowa State > Hockenson right now.

Just because he was all Big 12? Hockenson is lethal over the middle. We will see, but it is certainly possible that Hockenson has a better year than Fant. Just saying, he’s really good. Assuming good health of course. I just looked it up and Bibbs had like 45 catches as a senior. I’d take Hockenson and the over here. And don’t whine about QBs. According to you guys, Stanley is the worst QB to every spin a football

Other than the Pizza Ranch/Stanley jokes, what have I said about him as a quarterback? Zip. You made a stupid statement and I gave you somebody who was better at Iowa State than Hockenson is right now.

Going to be a long week for you regurgitating the same crap since you’ve got nothing about the Clones to spew out. Keep trying-you get old real quick.

Don’t like that ISU is going into this game without a full game under their belt.

Really would have helped some of the newer full time starters at key positions (Newell, Mueller, Rose, Enyi).

Statistically if he would have thrown a pass yesterday it would have been more likely an incompleted pass than a completed one. Derp
