Kirk said the "only two questionable guys" are Hank and safety Ty Hudkins ahead of Washington on Friday.

I think Sullivan would do a fine job, but Hecklinski DESERVES to start. KF said the QB competition was "even," yet Brown has made every single start, and Heck didn't even take a single snap vs. ISU or Michigan, and he wouldn't have vs. OSU either--despite Brown's two turnovers--had Brown not been dinged. That's an interesting definition of "even competition."
Guess what? Brown won the job.

It was even until it wasn't

If Heck won't be given a fair shot, might The Capt turn to Ed Podolak, assuming he has some eligibility left?
A fair shot?

Heck was given more than a fair shot. The competition was left open into season play

What's the old saying? The backup QB is the most popular player of the fans?
Right but even Hank fans should want him to possibly sit for a game. You try to rip a 40 yard pass with all that inflammation pressuring the tendons you could make a 2 week problem become a lot worst. I’m actually curious if someone minor was there before he went out, explaining some of the accuracy issues.

and last thing he wants is to get sacked & land hard on that shoulder

Seems possible.

How is he 16th out of 18?

ESPN has him #9.

You know how. For some here QB1 at Iowa is always the worst QB in the league, and QB2 is one of the best in the league ;)

Is this the type of game where we can run the ball? ;)
Not sure, they ANF guys say Wash has a very good front 6 and play a very sort of soft, I cant remember the word they used, back 5 and their corners have given up big pass plays. Maybe another pass first and run 2nd type of game.

But again I hope the run game starts ripping off consistent 4-5 yard gainse so we are very 2 dimensional.

Makes no sense to let UW know which qb to prepare for
Besides most knowing Heck is not necessarily a pocket passer what else can they prepare for.
Very little playing time previously.
