WE'RE TALKIN' FOOTBALL: AFTERNOON GAMES OPEN THREAD

GODDAMN Y'ALL ARE A BUNCH OF SLAPDICKS.  (Photo by Leon Halip/Getty Images)

Well that was pretty good, ladies and gentlemen.  Pretty good.  Especially if your name was "Marvin McNutt."  

But the football beast is not yet fed -- it demands MOAR, MOAR, MOAR FOOTBALL.  So what's on tap next?

2:30pm: Auburn @ LSU (CBS)
2:30pm: Nebraska @ Minnesota (ABC/ESPN2)
2:30pm: Maryland @ Florida State (ABC/ESPN2)
2:30pm: Texas A&M @ Iowa State (ABC)
2:30pm: Georgia Tech @ Miami (ESPN)
2:30pm: NC State @ Virginia (ESPNU)
2:30pm: Oregon @ Colorado (FSN)
2:30pm: Air Force @ Boise St (Versus)
2:30pm: East Carolina @ Navy (CBS College Sports)

For schadenfreude purposes, I'll be watching Nebraska-Minnesota, of course.  No matter who loses, I win!  

The usual rules for open threading are still in effect.  Scroll down if you've forgotten 'em.

Right, and let's not forget that Vandy and Weinke are the only other QB's on the roster.

In two years, even if Rudock is really good as a redshirt sophomore, Iowa is looking like they’ll have a 2-star, development redshirt QB as the 2nd-stringer.

Yes?

Does it accomplish anything? No, but then nothing we worry about accomplishes much, if anything at all. FOr the coaches? Absolutely. They weren’t “one injury away” from playing walk-on linebackers today, and they’ll get Nielsen back next week.

Derby was named and played as the 2nd string QB as a redshirt frosh. And from the very, very little of seen on him, he’s got a very good arm and pretty good accuracy. I don’t think they’ll lose a game this year because Derby isn’t playing LB. They might, though, in two years.

That's the biggest and only legitimate reason to actually do it, in my mind.

If he did, then you almost have to let him since you giving him a chance at QB was one of the main reasons he went to Iowa in the first place. I don’t think there’s any other reason that makes sense.

"Let me finish or I will hammerpunch your clavicle." -Steve Youngblood

by SomeJerkPoster on Oct 22, 2011 2:52 PM CDT up reply actions  

well, not really.

All the high-profile QB’s have committed and except for Kiel, they’re solid, so that’s basically one-year down. I do think they’ll get a good QB from 2013 (for some reason, I’m hoping for Greg Olsen’s little brother). Historically, most good QB’s commit before the end of their junior school year. And while Iowa has shown they don’t need early commit QB’s to be successful, it’s much rarer that you actually see a 2 or 3-star QB that is ready to contribute as a freshman.

We don't generally reel in the high-profile types.

We’ll probably bring in a lightly-rated guy this year. I could see us trying to bring in a JUCO, too.

Again: two years.

So much can happen between now and then between commitments, transfers, decommitments, position switches, etc. that this just doesn’t seem worth getting worked up over. You’re worried about a worst case scenario. (I can count on one hand the number of games Iowa starting QBs have missed because of injury over the last decade. No, it doesn’t guarantee future health, but still: QB health has not generally been a big problem for Iowa.)

Also, you keep conveniently ignoring that Derby apparently requested the move to LB. Good luck telling a kid he has to stay in a different position because you’re worried about the depth chart two years from now.

Okay, sorta just wondering if anyone had heard anything.

It was only a “rumor” that I heard Kiel was re-opening his committment, although it makes sense considering it’s going to be hard to outperform Roberson of the next three years, AND his brother isn’t playing at all.

well, of course. I thought that was implied as the number one reason.

My fault for not mentioning it. Seriously, I thought it and should have typed it out. Roberson looks to me like the perfect sort of college QB that is in most of the B1G and a lot around the country right now. And I’m not saying Kiel is thinking he couldn’t beat him out. Just that half a season of experience would make it difficult.

I always thought a “pitch” what is called a backward pass, and a fumble were the exact same thing, but apparently not. Dumb rule. But it looks like it was made correctly.

I do think there should have been a review for the spot of the ball going out of bounds, though.

by tyger1147 on Oct 22, 2011 3:11 PM CDT up reply actions  

The only thing I'd like different is that if it hits someone's hands first, then it's no-longer a backwards pass and it's a fumble.

Like, if the guy pitches it into the ground or the just straight out of bounds, then yeah, it’s a backwards pass and not a fumble. But if it hits a guys hands straight from the QB (or whomever) hands, then I think it should be a fumble. That way you don’t have to worry about someone batting it forward if they’re in the situation like Nebraska just was.

I think the Megatron rule was designed specifically for this type of catch.

Anyone applying common sense could tell you that Megatron’s was legit but by the letter of the law it probably wasn’t technically a catch. This one made a little more sense. You shouldn’t be allowed to snag it momentarily and claim possession without actually securing the ball.

I suppose you can’t just have a rule that allows for “common sense” but if you did I think this one would still be disallowed and Megatron’s would be allowed.

It’s just such an asinine rule to me. Why is something a catch at a different point on the field but NOT a catch in the end zone?

by RossWB on Oct 22, 2011 4:11 PM CDT up reply actions  

I don't think it is.

I honestly don’t think that would have been a catch in the field of play. We see guys jump for balls land on one foot and fall their butt and the ball pops out and it’s complete. This is basically the same thing. It’s not a catch anywhere on the field just as soon as your feet touch the ground.

I mean, think about a player standing their waiting for the ball. He catches it flat-footed and a half a second later a guy drills him from behind and the ball pops out. That’s incomplete and not a fumble.

While confirming the numbers for the McNutt / DJK all time record I was blown away by the yardage comparisons.

Season by season.

McNutt: 11, 674, 861, 757 (to date)
DJK: 482, 639, 750, 745

That really puts the year that McNutt is having in perspective.

Even more perspective: If McNutt’s average (108.1 yards/ game) holds, he’s on pace for 1,297 (!!!) yards IN THE REGULAR SEASON, or 1,405 after the bowl game. This, of course, assumes Iowa doesn’t miraculously find itself in the B1GCG.

He was really really bad prior to that Alamo Bowl

And kinda unremarkable his junior year, but so was everyone that season. By his senior year he was actually a semi-reliable possession receiver. It was pretty crazy. And he had that punt return to beat ISU

I thought the flag on that play was stupid.

You’re chasing a guy, trying to save a TD, and he starts slowing down cuz he thinks he’s got it made. You’re a football player, so you sell out and try to make the play, but it’s just a split second too late. It wasn’t a huge hit or a helmet thing, just a tackle that was a little too late.
