"A new star is born"

They're going to be talking about this upset for the rest of the season!

We will get some nice play on every road to the bcs special that airs in december, thats for sure.

If we did another almost unthinkable thing and won in Norman this week (and CPR is the guy to get it done!), you'd think we'd get even more play on that special.

That and an angry note from the conference about lost bcs revenue, lol

I have never seen an athlete go from hero to zero as quickly as steele jantz. I still have alot of respect for the guy but it just serves as a reminder to be humble about our wins and avoid unnecessary pressure on our athletes by giving them nicknames like "superman"

Eh, wouldn't go so far as a zero. I think we all feel better knowing that we have a capable kid at back up QB.

Penn St./Ohio St. announcers just said Barnett is leading the player of the week voting.

how do we vote?

 

[Cyclonepride]

I'm guessing here, though it's not up yet?

AT&T All-America Player of the Week

Goes up Sunday morning.

Welp, looks like we have win another online vote...

 

[dualthreat]

And a grown man vs. a 19 year old. I bet you their skills were within range when Tebow was his age. Not saying Barnett will be "as good" as Tebow. They are both born playmakers and winners.

No.

Completely Regardless of how Tebow is playing in the NFL, he was perhaps the greatest High school player of all time.

Definitely not a zero. Switching to Barnett as starter is starting to look like the smartest coaching move of the year. But we need to remember, this team might not yet be bowl eligible if it weren't for the Jantz heroics.

Brings up an interesting question -- has ISU ever had two starting QBs win 3 games in one season?

 

[CyValley]

A healthy Steele Jantz, I can see him leading ISU to the win last night. JB is a physically smaller version of SJ . . . SJ can run, too (or could, before the UConn game).

Which one has the stronger arm? And, SJ saw more than several of his passes dropped, too.

Maybe JB isn't the automatic starter next fall, maybe there will be continued competition, in spring ball.
