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.

Welp...I missed all the good parts of the Iowa game due to sleeping in too much.
"...take it to Hamsterdam."
Any chance Gunner Kiel comes to Iowa?
I’d feel ten times better about moving Derby to LB if they could get him as opposed to some kid who doesn’t have any BCS offers so far.
meh
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.
meh
Depth is overrated.
But your point is a very good one that I did not realize.
"...take it to Hamsterdam."
Is there any point to worrying about 2013 in 2011?

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.
meh
Apparently there was talk that Derby requested the move to LB.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
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.
meh
Also, there are TWO YEARS until this becomes an issue.
That’s a lot of time in the recruiting game.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"

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.
meh
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.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
No, I wasn't conveniently ignoring that, but thank you for saying I'm intentionally ignorant.
I hadn’t read it until you typed it down below, and as you can see, I clearly allow that as a great reason. But again, thanks for assuming I knew it and was intentionally ignoring a fact just because it would make my case harder to make. Cheers!
meh
Sorry.

And now Rob Howe is claiming that the coaches approached Derby but that he accepted shortly after the meeting.

There's a chance, sure.

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.
meh
Hard to outperform Roberson?
I think that’s a stretch.
I think it’s more likely he doesn’t want to go there because, oh yeah, he has offers from EVERYONE and the Hoosiers are a fucking dumpster fire.

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.
meh
Roberson looked OK against a lousy defense.
Aside from the one good throw deep, his throws over 10 yards didn’t look that impressive.

Sure. He's a true freshman that's a true dual-threat QB.

Meh. Not according to the rules.
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.
meh
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.

The Megatron rule was actually even more restricting than the college one.
That one was soooooo stupid.
meh
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 looked like the ball only came loose when he hit the ground.

Yeah.
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?
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
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.

Per Morehouse, McNutt needs just 313 to get the yardage record.
Could get close to 100 next week against the Gophers. Should get the record before bowl season.
Woah
Did not expect him to have a chance at that one. That would have him at or really close to the single season yardage record too, right? Great season (against a really crappy schedule but ssshhhhh)
If my math is good, 313 more yards would give him 1070 on the year.

LOL at the Aflac trivia question in the ISU game
“What former ISU QB threw for 4 TDs in a single quarter (NFL game)?”
Commentators… answered “Seneca Wallace?” With a lot of emphasis on the question mark. But isn’t it just a 50-50 shot? It’s either SW or Sage Rosenfels, no?
I actually knew that one!
But yeah have they had another NFL QB. I mean granted we’re not really in position to talk shit there, but there’s not a lot to choose from
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.
haha the 11 is awesome
Imagine how badly he could have shattered both record if he hadn’t fucked around at QB for a year and a half.
He would have annihilated those records.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
I mean, as it is, he could still just leave the old TD record in the dust.

It was so inspirational that he was able to overcome that bit of adversity.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
I liked Brodell
His hands were terrible his first few years, but by the time he was a senior he was actually a pretty reliable target.
That was his sophomore year, and it ruled
His last year was 08. He was second on the team in yards and receptions, and didn’t drop very many passes.

You’re chasing a guy, trying to save a TD, and he starts slowing down cuz he thinks he’s got it made.

The thing where they let 20 seconds bleed off the clock and then called timeout right before the snap was really dumb. Thankfully McNutt made it irrelevant
The last TO was used to avoid a 5 yard penalty.
If Iowa lines up correctly, the staff holds the TO and lets the play unfold.

The important thing was calling the TOs on defense.
That gave VDB and the offense time to score, and then they actually tried to score! And I agree with Mexicant about the last TO. I give the coaches an A on this one. Makes up for not doing it at PSU. Still doesn’t make up for ISU or OSU ’09.

One thing that bears mentioning about this pic
I really liked Indiana’s all-white unis today. Granted, the downside is that it shows really obviously when they shit their pants, which was pretty much on every defensive series.

The IU fans probably like those jerseys because they remind them of the coming basketball season.

There were a lot of white-on-white-on-white jerseys today.
I can think of Indiana, Okie State, LSU off the top of my head
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
LSU looked sharp, too.
For IU, I think the helmets are what did it for me. Just a nice change.

There would have been some conflict in using that.
Come to think of it, that would have been great. Maybe Dallas would have had to change their name to “Southern Cross”.

Aside from inside the ten yard line, oddly enough
According to the tv guys
Kirk fucking yelled at them to get their heads out of their ass. But honestly, I have no idea

I can't watch our game, but according to those with TV, NW has about 50 fans.
This has been your unsurprising news for today.
"Don't you'uns think this outlaw bit's done got out of hand?"
I laughed at the BTN guys saying jNW would get a boost from playing at home
I would guess they’ll be outnumbered by PSU fans about 2 to 1 tonight
That figure isn't even based on game attendance.

Anyone watching the ISU game?
They basically just called a personal foul for tackling the QB. Pathetic.
I thought Hyde got a tackling penalty today too
Not sure what he was supposed to do on that hit.
Yeah, I'm kind of done with the protection thing.
Either play tackle football or don’t play tackle football.

That's not what I'm saying.
I saw at least 4 personal foul calls today (in separate games) that were nothing more than tacklers being hung out to dry by their momentum carrying them into players sliding/going out of bounds after the fact. Personal fouls are like the old legal definition of pornography; I know it when I see it.
