Is this kid Red Shirting? If not would he be 3rd on the depth chart? With Kyle getting hurt and our next guy not to effective. I wonder who the next guy would be? I think Mitchell might be an X factor since he can run and with the way the line played. We might need a guy who can run. Just curious if anyone knows the pecking order at this point.
Re Al Mitchell
- Thread starter Knownothing
- Start date
Need him in for the goal line situations to add the threat of the QB running the ball. Sort of like with Lanning except he isn't going to run people over.
My question is who is the second string this week? Purdy?

I do as well except I’m allowed to speculate right? Maybe voice my opinion since it’s a message board. I was also just asking a question as well.
Wow, we lose a road game to an in-state rival by ten points and people are already clamoring for the third-string QB. Everyone just needs to calm the **** down.
He started all year his Jr year adn had a great year...his senior year another Qb took over a lot and oh btw taht QB was a top 10 Qb in the country going to UCLA..they often do that btw at that HS.
I don’t think anyone calling for 3rd string rather if Zeb goes down then what?
Who is calling for a third string quarterback? Nobody in this post. I was just asking where Mitchell stands. We have a broken first string guy. We now will start Zeb. Who is the next guy. Simply stating with our offensive line woes it might not be bad to get a scrambling quarterback up next.
Knownothing said Zeb was "not effective". That sounds a lot like he's calling for the third stringer.
Remember that the NCAA changed their rule as far as redshirting. Mitchell or any of the true freshmen can play up to I believe 4 games without burning their redshirt.
Zeb was rushed in the 4th big time. Campbell said that Zeb did well given the situation of needing to dig out of a 2 score hole quickly (touchdown plus marching up the field for something else given 10 pts ). I do sadly respect Iowa's D. Sadly in the 2nd half our offense couldn't keep the D off the field. The D wore down. There were too many mistakes that put too much pressure on our cyclone D. The D played well in spite of everything else.
I think before putting the cart ahead of the horse, we fans need to do 2 things. Last I heard Kempt was day to day. Thats going to be a question mark until Saturday from the sounds of it... (Updates are definitely appreciated) We need to first figure out Kempt's status. Is it he'll be fine enough for Saturday? Is it he will miss x weeks? Nobody truly knows for sure yet. Plus Zeb is still healthy!!! The other thing us fans need to do is let it all play out the way it is supposed to with Campbell managing things. I doubt Campbell will even want to burn Mitchell's redshirt or any of the other true freshmen qbs unless absolutely necessary. Remember that there is the redshirt freshman from Waterloo that was hurt last year that possibly could be in the cards too. I have no idea.
Remember that Kempt last year was a curveball too when he started against Oklahoma.
If Campbell and Co. feel its best..... He may throw another curveball if the situation arises. One thing at a time... In spite of the loss, I have not lost faith....
Well he was not effective. Does not mean I am calling for the 3rd stringer. Not even close. However, if he is ineffective the first half against OU. Do we go to the third stringer? That's not calling for him. Did you feel he was effective against Iowa?
Did you feel DM was effective on Saturday?
Not much can be taken from that situation.
Curveballs are a CPR special and if this staff makes that a consistent thing I'll see it as a red flag.
Week 4: Zone Read.
Week 6: Pistol.
Week 8: Mainly wildcat because DM was a QB once.
