I actually don't think it's Petras' fault. He isn't good but his confidence is clearly shattered right now, making it worse. They don't have anything around him however. He was screwed from the start.
Would Spencer Petras start on Paul Rhoads ISU teams?

I kinda' feel bad for Petras. Yes, he looked horrible for most of the game, but his receivers did him no favors. At the end of the game he actually threw some very catchable balls that were not caught by his receivers. Not to mention it is on the coaches to replace him if he is not performing at an acceptable level. What is he supposed to do bench himself?
They have a bad OL and LaPorta is the only reliable receiver he has, there is no one on that offense playing with any kind of confidence. It's a dumpster fire but Kirk and Brian are roasting marshmallows.
There’s scuttlebutt out there that somebody representing Duggan reached out to Iowa but was told thanks but no thanks. That is from a b1g pod.
They do have 4 WR's out right now, but I don't know how much it would help him if they were playing. He's missing open guys all the time now, so who he's throwing to doesn't really matter.
I actually do too at this point. He must be going through hell. As far as I know he’s not some cocky, blow hard POS.
Iowa's offense is a perfect storm right now. They have a terrible QB, their O-Line is the worst they've had in 20 years, their running backs are below average, and they have the worst group of WR in P5 football right now.
There is nothing they can do. Their talent is what it is. They'll get a little help if Ragaini and Keegan Johnson return, but those guys aren't game changers either. I've also heard rumblings that Johnson might be out for the whole season. They are in a terrible spot offensively with no answers.

Gonna be hilarious when Arland Bruce enters the transfer portal in December. Iowa’s WR room is really really bad. Petra’s is taking a lot of heat but he really doesn’t have much to work with. It’s between the ears at this point and Hawk fans booing him just rattles him even more. Padilla isn’t the answer either and most rational Iowa fans know this.
Their only hope for answers resides in the B1g W. 2-3 wins versus those teams will only be proof of how horrible that division is though.
Here, you don't need to feel bad for him anymore.
Petras was on his back a lot yesterday and having his teammates help him up..... and ISU is a Big 12 team the last I checked.
That is a very bizarre comment considering a Big XII D just made him look like a pile of dog poo or does he think 4.5 seconds is too little time and he will have more against the mighty Wolverines... I may be old school but generally you don't try to diss a team that just beat you.
