Padilla , if not starting, will be their quarterback we need to practice for. Can't remember the year, but IU starting quarterback was so bad that the reserve came in and they won. He was the starter the rest of his eligibility.

We are pretty famous for the backup quarterbacks coming in and burning us. I remember when it happened at Missouri. Top guy got hurt and the backup was way better against our defense
Are you talking about the guy who pitched it to wide open guys about 8 yards in the flat on every single play?

Padilla can run...He's not Vick but he's far more mobile...not that Iowa offense calls plays to run QB but still...

Padilla much shorter..prob 5'11..

I could def see Padilla playing or playing alot and bringing in Petras on 3rd or 4th and short type stuff.

Our 3 man front DL and our LB's are gonna need to be better this week...by alot.

Disappointed they let Vance come into season 260Lbs...he's slow.

Hmmm... I don't remember this exact scenario, but I do remember Stanzi beating out Christensen and being named starter for ISU and everyone being kind of surprised by that.

Didn't we lose to Petras last year???
Is Brock worse than Petras...of course not.
We just have to stop TURNING THE BALL OVER and letting their defense score or give their god-awful QB a short field.
It was pretty crazy to see Petras throw for 105 yards last year and trash talk us.

Petras will start against ISU and they will stick with him as long as ISU isn't 20 points ahead. He will play much better against ISU, just because, and will have zero turnovers, even though he throws a couple right to our guys. The Cyclones are cursed in this game, and that is what I am sticking with until proven otherwise.

Petras is much worse this year…somehow. There are many high school quarterbacks in Iowa much much better than him.
