He considers himself a dual threat but runs a 4.7 40 and from his highlights, his running is a bit stiff. Arm strength looks average at best. Our DB's may have a field day.
Iowa has named Joey Labas as starting QB against us.
- Thread starter BigBlueFanGA
- Start date
I first read this as "Pepper your anus" and I was like, I really don't get the phrases these young kids are saying now days!
Should we be worried? I’m worried about their defense. They have some good white dudes on defense. Was a rough game to watch last year.
Don't forget our long and illustrious history of making backup QBs look like Tom Brady.
Are we talking about Brady, the GOAT of years past, or Brady, the Old GOAT beaten this year by Mr. Irreverent?
Same at UGA, just take the last SEC championship game, we had game well in hand, back up QB came in and lit us up. Happened against Bama 2 times. This is my theory, I think Stoops and Kirby are alike, they study film and breakdown film better than anyone else in college ball. They know what the QB is going to do before the snap. I think both are elite at this, but if starter goes down and backup comes in, with real film to break down, both struggle. May not be right, but it sure seems that way.
Grumpy, back in the Quincy Carter Era GA came to Lexington with a backup who played for a banged up Quincy and torched UK for like 400+ and 4. Think his name may have been Corey something or other.
From what we hear of practice and last years bowl prep and scout team updates (when Labas was running scout team QB), he can move in the pocket and make plays with his feet. Not a strong arm, but could have some decent touch, we'll see. It will be interesting to see how much he has progressed with getting lots of reps with the 1s.
Iowa will need to win it with defense and special teams, and not turn over the ball. I expect they will play a pretty inspired game because of the embarrassing loss to Nebraska.

Ha, first team to actually score wins.
A little different this year, we don't have 15 guys out. We do have three key guys that won't be there for us but at least we have almost all of our defenders. As good as Jackson and Wallace have played I hope Square and Jones are healed enough to play a lot. Just can't replace the experience part.
Seeing what Marrow can do in a situation like this will be interesting to see. We have the playmakers if we can just get the ball in their hands they can make some plays. Totally in the dark with what kind of chance our QB's have with no experience.

I'd agree but I fully expect a defense to outscore their own offense
The kid hasn't played a down of football in his college career. Iowa fans have no more idea what the kid can do than do Kentucky fans right now.
Or the offenses get so bad that it's high-scoring due purely to defensive touchdowns.
Iowa has a penchant like no other to score defensively. Can't begin to tell you how many pick six's Iowa has had in the past two years. Never seen anything like it. It's masked to some levels a horrible offense the past two years. No way you can win 17 games between last year and this with the nation's worst offense unless you have an amazing defense capable of big play turnovers.
Solution: quick kicks to put the pressure back on the other offense.
Oh wait...our long snapping situation is even worse. Well, I'm back to hoping we can figure out something offensively.
I know, I had to look at his senior highlights. I think I used the word "may". We have to find something to talk about.
On defense true freshman Deone Walker, 6'7" 340 lbs DL.
On offense, two true freshman receivers, Dane Key and Barion Brown. Brown has jets. Had 143 yards receiving against Georgia's defense.
