[ISUAgronomist]

Coach Rhoads just announced Barnett as starter for next week against Texas Tech in the postgame press conference.

Good.

Glad he did it now. No drama and the team knows the direction they are going in.

Hopefully the WR's remember to catch the ball for him next week.

This is the direction the eam needs to go. I like this call.

Jeez our WRs suck. At least the can get some rhythmn this week in practice.

 

[EYEoftheSTORM]

Like it as well. We had our chances to come back (dropped pass before half, several dropped passes) all because of Barnett's accuracy. I like the decision, and like that we finally get to play against a team that is not ranked...

Jantz era is over. Barnett makes less mistakes.

Key to winning (or at least having a shot to win), make less mistakes.

Yep, gotta go with BARNETT... Steele is junk.

Plus if they're equal at this point, might as well let the young guy get experience. If we win next week, we're still alive. If we don't we're playing for the future anyway.

Would be interesting to see how things would have gone if he hadn't gotten hurt at UConn.

 

[UNIGuy4Cy]

funny how much better our defense looks when the offense is not turning the ball over.

Jantz had a piece in the first three wins. Time for Barnett to have some opportunities. Happy for him.

Jantz is a better QB if you take out 4 turnovers a game. But you cannot take all those turnovers out. I thought Barnett played solid today. If he had any help from the receivers, it may have been a game.

Jantz has way more upside, Barnett makes far less mistakes.

We haven't seen the end of this battle.

I was very impressed with Barnett today. Good to see a QB who doesn't turn the ball over.

 

[xboxfever]

Jantz won the first three games this season, but his play and the play calling in general since then has been terrible, and it was time for Barnett to show case his skills. He played pretty good for his first true game as the QB. He is only going to get better.

This game should prove to people this team has more problems than just QB.

Receivers, notably Reynolds, stunk it up today.
