QB situation for next year
- Thread starter CyBlitz
- Start date
Noland will be a RS Soph next year, but your point still stands. Hopefully, Park will be healthy and good to go so we can work Noland into some snaps and get him experience for his Rs Jr year.
IF that is the case, I would think they may try and get a grad transfer or JUCO
Park is the ultimate key to next year. There'll be some legit winnable games on the road, but ISU will suffer key losses at WR. Going into Iowa with an experienced senior QB early on in that environment is huge.
On the road at Kansas should be a win with Park. While they will probably still be covered in suck, it's a lethargic atmosphere that seems to lull teams into some issues. Tech rolled this weekend, but the last couple trips to KU have been sketchy for them. KU beat Texas last year, and have had TCU on the ropes a couple times there. @ KU is a sneaky **** trap.
Also getting historically sketchy road teams in Baylor, and Tech at home next year with Park could mean winning those game decisively. The schedule sets up great to have a senior QB leading the charge in all the right places.

The roster and schedule (with maybe the exception of Iowa on the road) setups up for next year to be the breakout year. It would be a shame if the QB position held the team back when otherwise ready to compete at a pretty high level at that point.
I trust our coaches will have something appropriate ready to go.

I'm confident that the talent level of QB the staff has on the roster or are recruiting will be solid enough to get us wins next year.
Whether that be Park, Nolan, Moore, they are all capable.
Plus, with most of the OL returning, that group will hopefully be nasty. Just hand it off to Montgomery 25 times a game and go to work.

I woudn't be surprised to see Zeb either if we are winning. Would be good to get some experience. And if coaches think that Park's playing days at ISU are over, then I'd think they'd look for good spots to get Zeb some playing time. Last week at OU would have been a bad spot for him. But coaches obviously have a better idea with what lays ahead for Park. Perhaps they think he'll be back by years end and getting Zeb snaps won't be as crucial.
I sincerely hope Park gets everything straightened out. I like the kid and his swagger. I love his ability. Ultimately though I want him to have a happy and productive life.
I was told that having inexperienced QB’s means there is no tape. That is the reason Kempt was so successful I was told. So inexperience is actually to Iowa State’s advantage. There was lots of tape on Baker Mayfield so defending him was obviously easy for the Cyclone defense. Do I need a Jimlad?
Noland is solid. I would feel comfortable with him being the guy if Park is not back. If Woods is as good as some have advertised, then maybe he gets a look. Park is the guy if he is back.
We were 30 point dogs on the road last week and KU is a 20 pt dog on the road this week.... whoever is QB we better be ready to take care of business. As for QB for next year, I hope it's Park and he's got his issues resolved but otherwise Noland.
