Should Purdy Redshirt this year?

[Cyclone27inQC]

Obviously after today’s game he’ll start the next two. If we lose against WVA or TT do you redshirt him and limp thru the rest of the season with KK and Zeb to save his 4 years????
Let the discussion begin!
Go Cyclones

If he is the best QB, no

 

[bsaltyman]

Play whoever gives the team the best chance to win now. Keep playing the kid, even if he is a true freshman. Screw the redshirt.

 

[CYCLNST8]

I don't know how anyone comes away from today's game wanting anyone else under center. The kid is legit. Kempt is a good game manager and Zoland has a strong arm, but neither of them can create offense on their own like Purdy did today.

Is the season over if we lose to WVU or TT? If Purdy gives us the best chance to win keep playing for a bowl.

With him at QB we are going to win 8 or 9 games so no you don’t redshirt him.

 

[chuckd4735]

Everyone's high on him right now, but we've all seen this show before. Let's see where he is after Tech, and where Kempt is with his injury. I don't want Noland playing meaningful snaps.

1976. The most bullish Cyclone fan since... ever.

I’m honestly not sure how anyone can feel differently after what we saw today.

I maintain ISU can run the table starting next week. WVU and TX only games to worry about. IF so, you play Purdy. Seemed to play w the tempo Campbell wants and clearly will open up the playbook and get the ball to his play makers, including DM when he is healthy.

 

[Gorm]

Play him if it means we can keep the offense clicking. Plus it banks a redshirt in case of a medial issue down the line.

If the defense and offense continue to improve on what I see today, every game left on the schedule is winnable.

 

[Beyerball]

We just witnessed the best performance by a QB this year...heck by any ISU player this year..and this thread is whether or not to RS him? Lol.

Purdy will start and finish every game moving forward if he’s able to...Kid is the real deal. It’s not like he’s just a little mobile and surprised OSU...kid is incredibly accurate...has an arm..has very very quick feet and a ton of moxy..

If it were late November and the season were a wash and it were still an option vs. eligibility, sure.

But this was game 5, and a win next week will make things feel like a brand new season with big things possible.

 

[ISU2]

dont start messing with his confidence, just play the best

Thread make Hulk's brain hurt.

Because people remember Sam Richardson.

Meh. Richardson’s breakout game was against a ****** Kansas team.

Meh. Richardson’s breakout game was against a ****** Kansas team.

We don't know what OSU will end up like though. It wasn't a secret that they don't play defense very well.

Big difference is that there's more playmakers available than what Richardson had to work with...pretty much his whole career.

And Purdys was against a really bad OSU defense.

I’d have to go back to double check, but I’m pretty sure this OSU team has already won more games than that Kansas team did all year.
