Reading comprehension not your strong suit. How do you get “one good call” from the words “best play call all day?”
Should Dekkers start against UNLV.
- Thread starter keepngoal
- Start date
This is kinda where I’m at. Dekkers clearly throws a better ball too, that is undeniable. Is his decision-making developed enough to be in pressure situations? That’s what we don’t know and why Purdy will keep the job.
In the college game THERE ARE NO LOW RISK GAMES....remember boys DRAKE BEAT ISU IN JTS....and yes that was a low risk game that was lost before maybe Ten Thousand Fans at most in JTS
I remember when we had a QB who would move around, sometimes run, and use a pump fake very successfully. Let Brock play his game.
The problem is not the QB. It's the tempo. We moved the ball better with Dekkers because we had to get aggressive. We moved the ball with Purdy when we allowed him to up the tempo at the end of the half (and against UNI). I liked what I saw from Dekkers, but Purdy is not the problem.
My mind has changed on this as of yesterday. I now believe that given equal play calling, Dekkers may give us the better chance to win.
Yep…fun fact we don’t have to play Big10 football against Iowa we can play Big12 ball. We won’t beat them at their own game ever
Well thank goodness you’re going to stop watching then.
you won’t have to worry about who the starting QB will be next Saturday night
Pet sure you will anyway. At least until Iowa beats Iowa State at basketball
I knew this would come up and it is total BS in my opinion. Purdy was to blame for the first INT for being somewhat under thrown, the other two were dropped pass and tipped off the line get over the Purdy blame game!
I’d be shocked if we do bench him, but he does not look good. Most deep shots are ducks and under thrown. His footwork in the pocket is poor (always has been), he does not step up in the pocket.
In the few series Dekkers was in, granted the defense wasn’t the same, he appeared to sit in the pocket for much longer, and obviously the arm strength is better.

Then you’re ready to move on from Campbell then? Because the system, and the process, is all him.
I don't get the play call on the early series where we end up kicking a FG. We throw a 5 yd crossing route where we need 10 for a TD/first down. Nothing good is going to happen and risk a tipped ball. Either plan for a TD or run and plan to kick the FG.
CMC seemed to acknowledge Brock is questioning whether Brock wants to start:
"“I would assume Brock’s going to be our guy,” Campbell said when asked if he still expects Purdy to start next week’s game against UNLV."
The head coach "assumes" Brock will start against UNLV?? We don't have a QB controversy; we have a coach/QB controversy. CMC still has a chance to beat Iowa -- he took away Brock's last chance to beat Iowa.
Or Brock isn’t 100 % healthy.
you guys pumping yourselves over replacing the qb and oc are going to be sorely disappointed when none of that happens.
just don’t enjoy any big wins because those same two people will be a part of those
Accept losing the entire team..
Everything is still in front of this team with B Purdy as QB.
Get a grip. Purdy had a bad game and I'd say our WR's had a worse game.
