Tengwall on Becht: "A step up from Allar and Grunkmeyer"

[Schoolie]

I saw another Iowa St fan describe him as “erratic”.

TRUE, BUT $3.5 MILLION?? That's nuts.

$3.5 million??? You've got to be kidding.

Yeah, this was definitely internet fodder. Still, MC is bringing his OC, seems likely his QB might follow.

Okay thank you for the update. Don't know about him, do you think he could he challenge Grunk in '27 if it got to that? I still see Grunk as a heavy favorite to start in '27 given his experience.

Complete project. Reason why he committed elsewhere before circling back after the class collapsed is because he was recruited as a TE and he thinks he can play QB. He has a terrible throwing motion but is a hell of an athlete.

One thing about Becht: I seem to recall a whole lot of 4th quarter comeback drives and clutch plays.

One thing about Becht: I seem to recall a whole lot of 4th quarter comeback drives and clutch plays.

Over his career, I believe ISU had 7 "come from behind" (or tie game) drives in the 4th quarter.
That could be off by one or two, but I think that is about right.
That is a fairly significant number (though he was a three year starter, but still 7 is pretty significant, I think). I have no idea what it was for PSU/Allar over that same time - but maybe someone has that.

So that is probably something to hang on to. But his overall performance (and that of the ISU offense in total) - as has been noted by folks in this thread - was very "meh".
