Why can’t Iowa even find an average QB?

Every year. Same problem.

They are above average when they get here. This guy was at Auburn ffs.

Brown's follow through is hitting his linemen's shoulder pads..... OSU's qb has a clean pocket with about 3 yards of cushion.

Click to expand...

Exactly.... Give Hank those weapons and an alien at WR.... Multiple TDs too.

Not that he hasn't missed his share of throws today, but fans really wanting to bench him? Seriously?

Oh yeah, I really came into this game wishing that Brown and the offense would suck today so much I'd be asking for the backup QB in the 3rdQ.

And I hate that its happening because he's dinged up.

Can't even stop the RBs a yard/yard-and-a-half shy without letting them fall forward to move the sticks.

OL/DL so weak.

300lb linemen came to push.... Not the RB that play. Hawthorne did an incredible job getting off his block and stopping the RB cold.... But multiple linemen pushed after

Hank Brown is not a good QB. Is he the best on the Iowa roster? Probably, but that does not make him a good QB.

This performance cements that the Hawks are not playoff ready. Nowhere near. With our injuries, Washington may be too much for us. Look at Minnesota and Northwestern for probable losses as well. This team is young and soft.
