He'll be starting next week. As bad as Baylor defensive is, it was its still impressive to throw for 5 TD and have the the yards he had no matter who you play. And according to the TV analyst guy who kept reminding the viewers how bad the Baylor D was every time Iowa State made a big play or Jantz threw for a TD. Jantz spread the field and picked Baylor apart. It was an incredible display and it kept our defense motivated which pretty much kept Baylor offensive machine from going into overdrive.
With this change they staff has to go with him the rest of the year. It does no good to have a QB battle all week every week at practice. What you get it what you get at this point. Neither are going to put up huge numbers every weeks and play 2 QBs just doesnt work. Just have to go with Jantz and see where it leads the team.

I think each bring different tools and different weaknesses to the table. I'd definitely go with Steele to start against OU, but I'd keep Barnett in my back pocket. Given their succeptibilty to the run, I think Barnett will probably be more effective against Texas.
Jantz's performance was a product of good protection from the O-line. When he doesn't have time to throw, the feet start dancing. When the feet start dancing, the Jantz starts running. When the Jantz starts running, the ball gets dropped on the ground.
Don't not give him time to throw. Protect the Jantz and enjoy the success.
Got to point out that he was still making throws while being hit last night, too.

Is very hard on the team and QBs involved to go back and forth all year.
