It had nothing to do with Rudock playing against Utah under a new coach and system and Iowa playing against Ill St
They why did Rudock look like the exact same player, and Michigan's offense look identical to Iowa's of last year?

No doubt Iowa fans' fascination with Beathard was partially due to the "backup syndrome." I think you ISU fans are familiar with that with the QB carousel prior to Richardson taking hold of the job.
Curious who here thinks Richardson will be drafted by the 5th round of next years NFL draft.
Small sample size, and CJ didn't have the practice reps. Look at game 1 for the season this year. Rudock is the same player. An awful one.

Beathard's popularity is all all relative to Rudocks inability to move the ball and the fact that KF refused to play CJB last year despite the fans and poor performance from Rudock. It's not like Iowa fans think CJ is an All American, we're just rejoicing because we finally got our wish are sure to see less 3 and outs and more big plays.

This is my wish... if granted only one wish... I would wish that all you guys would just put dan on ignore or don't respond to his deranged posts. It flat out ruins every thread he and Twins are involved in.
There are actually reasonable Hawks on this board (believe it or not) that probably have decent takes on things I'd like to hear their perspective on, but Twins and dan ruin it.
Not. They may trick you in to thinking that but it's all a ruse.
I see Iowa played an FCS team in week 1 and Rudock played against a Top 25 Power 5 team. Pretty much sums up everything about the hoks. How bad is it going to be when the schedule turns and Michigan, MSU, and OSU start showing up again. Iowa lost 51-14 to MINNNESOTA last year. That could have easily been 81-0 vs. OSU.

Rudock statistically was not bad last year. His physical limitations and dismal way he performed at the end (Nebraska and Tennessee) had the fan base ready to make the change.
Iowa fans' expectations are likely too high for Beathard. I hope I'm wrong.
I don't get it. He had 3 touchdowns, and didn't make any mistakes. We already know he can throw the deep ball, he didn't need to show it in that game.
It's not like we haven't seen Rudock play against poor teams and look the exact same...
ISU lost by an average of 30+ pts. last season ... That's including TCU kneeling the ball with 5 minutes left inside the 10 yd. line because they felt bad.
Seeing some chatter on Hawkeye Lounge and I thought this would be a good discussion from both sides. Who would you rather have: Beathard or Richardson?
Iowa fans are super confident in Beathard despite him throwing more than 10 passes in a game three times.
17/37 245 1 TD 1 INT @ Purdue W 24-10
13/23 145 2 TD 1 INT vs. TENN L 45-28
15/24 211 1 TD 0 INT vs. Ill St. W 31-14
He has a big arm, but he has looked erratic at times. Why are Iowa fans so confident he's better than Richardson? Kinda bizarre.
