Rocco looked out of sync, stared down his receivers (and yes lots of drops), but why wasn't JJ ever in the game to maybe drive a little life into the offense? It's going to be a long season by the looks of today. Strap in.
Where was JJ Kohl

Rocco absolutely stares down receiving hot routes but the way the offense is being managed JJ needs time. Do not throw JJ in
JJ looked out of synch last week against uni. I wouldn’t have minded him getting something. But I think letting Rocco work through it had some benefits. The TD probably doesn’t happen if JJ comes in and I think that drive will help Rocco later on.
I'm guessing he was on the sidelines because the guys paid to evaluate their roster decided Becht is a better option. Just spitballing.
JJ didn't look ready against UNI. Putting him out there against Iowa would not be fair to him - he needs time to develop.
Not sure I get this. Did you watch the UNI game? If Becht stares down receivers, JJ looked at one primary receiver and then panicked. Not ready.
JJ looked bad in game 1 and Rocco looked ok. Who's to say the opposite couldn't be true for game 2? If JJ is the longterm goal at QB, I'd like to get him more opportunities, win or lose.
If JJ is the long term goal, he will play better than Rocco.
Based on UNI game, pretty clear who the better QB is at this point in their career- Rocco.
I would think if JJ has a great week in practice maybe he gets some first half snaps against Ohio. But if he's not pushing Rocco to start at this point, best he can hope for is mop-up duty.
Rocco had a decent game given his experience and going against a really solid defense. Without those 7 drops, I think it goes from decent to pretty good.
Iowa's defense would of chewed him up and spit him out.
JJ can only play 4 games to keep his redshirt. So guessing he won’t play any incase they need him at season end if Rocco gets hurt.
I didn’t think Rocco played bad at all yesterday. Instead of putting in the back up QB, how about putting in a back up receiver who can catch? Do people really think at this point, the QB position is the reason for all of our offensive woes?
JJ didn’t look good at all against UNI, not sure why he’d have been ready for Iowa.

You know, guy behind me kept yelling that Rocco stared down his receivers. I almost told him, well they are laddering the receivers so please announce which one of the 2-3 receivers he’s staring down. When he did the quick hits, he did but when you have a play set to release the ball in around a second, you don’t have time to look off a defender, you gotta locate them immediately.
He didn’t stare down as many receivers as most thought.
Wrong, he has an arm. It’s due to lack of experience and the blitzes that Iowa was sending.
Rocco wasn't the problem yesterday. Just look at all the drops. Go back and watch the pick 6, Norton ran the most pathetic out route ive ever seen.
I dont know what this coaching staff is expecting though when you are lining up running backs as slot receivers. Just completely clueless on all levels.

Those drops were catastrophic in a close game like this.
Fox had a great closeup of Rocco's dad's reaction to one of them. Same as a lot of us.
