A Look at BT QBs

[mushroomgod_1]

I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the productivity of BT QBs to date---Listing the QBs by most to least efficient to date---

1. Kurtis Rourke...................IU.........118/160......73.8%.....1752 yds......14/2 (TDs/Ints)........11.0 YPA......192.1 PER.......(78 yds) rushing

Some Comments--

Better than expected--Rourke (right now, POY in the BT. How will the stats look after we play better Ds?. He's been assisted by amazing WR play); Luke Altmeyer (Turns out Fat Boy can coach QBs); Drew Allar; Billy Edwards (other than Rourke, my #1 surprise)

Flying under the radar--Will Rogers at Washington

Disasters--Chiles at MSU; Cade McNamara; Hudson Card--I feel like he's a good QB stuck in a really bad situation; NW QBs; Warren Davis. Miller Moss isn't a disaster, but he is a disappointment at this point. He's not getting much help from his WRs.

Playing about as expected: Dillon Gabriel; Will Howard; Brosmer; Raiola; Garbers; Kaliakmanis

How good is Iowa TB Kaleb Johnson?? I would say an absolute stud. 771 yds . 7.9 ypc, and 10 TDs playing with a QB with a 114.4 PER. There are a lot of excellent TBs in the BT this year, but he's got to be the best.

 

[TominDallas]

This is a good list. Thank you for this. I thought I heard Gerry Dinardo talk last week on how the teams with solid QB1 AND solid coaching, make up the top tier of the B1G.

The PSU QB seem very efficient. I have not seen them yet this year. To call him a bus driver would be insulting, but I wonder if they have a great ground game and they lead with that?

 

[vesuvius13]

With the QB coaches we have and the offense I expect IU to have the leading QB in the B1G most every year. Add in the way our coaches coach players I can believe IU will be challenging the best in the B1G soon.

I expected Hudson Card to be carrying PU better than what he’s shown. Maybe that was just my PP (Purdue paranoia). Their demise is making our season extra special and for that I am grateful.

If you look closely, you’ll see that Johnson has 97 rushing attempts for 771 yards alone.
Iowa as a team has 195 carries for 1,117 and 12 TDs.

IU has Ellison as its leading rusher at 64 carries for 409 yards. But as a team, we rushed 234 carries for 1,202 yards and 23 TDs.

Collectively, our running back by committee is actually neck and neck on ypc at 5.1 vs 5.7.

If you check out the stats IU leads the B1G in rushing and passing yards.

Our offense will be strong every year. It will take a hit next year w/o Rourke. Our defense could be strong next year as well. If we pull in some strong DL over the next couple of years...we will be a Top 10 team.

Correct…..because it is a system. A very sophisticated system that the guy. has run for years. And he tweaks it as needed. For instance, Rourke is a pocket passer. He doesn’t run but only when it’s open
The guy prior at JMU under Cignetti, McCloud, he scrambled more because he could take off with his legs. Same system but emphasizing a bit more one aspect of the system because of the QB styles.

 

[Kelly_32]

I will be shocked if our QB position takes a hit next year.

 

[OpenWheels]

I can't see our QB position not taking a hit next year. Rourke is playing elite level right now, and you don't easily replace that.
But I agree we already have talent on the team that should leave the QB position in good hands. They won't have to be our next Rourke, they can win their own way.

Beat Nebraska!

[jacksback]

Assuming our offense plays close to this level for the rest of the season it won't be hard for Cig to convince a high level transfer to take over where Rourke left off.

 

[td75]

Cignetti will have plenty of options regarding the QB position. With Rourke's level of play, brings a high level of interest and appeal to the position.

Soresby may want back??

 

[OpenWheels]

I'm guessing they roll with either Tayven or Tyler. I'm expecting Tyler to beat our Alberto long term. Although I'm high on Mendoza too and think he's underrated. Tyler I think has a better arm and is taller. Mendoza has a good arm though and may be more mobile.
If they have to bring in a transfer, maybe that would mean they mis-evaluated their recruits. Because the guys already will have a year of this staff's own training, should have a big edge.

 

[Tammany Hall]

Assuming our offense plays close to this level for the rest of the season it won't be hard for Cig to convince a high level transfer to take over where Rourke left off.

It's been said if JuJu comes we have someone prepared to cover his NIL -- I don't know if that's a person or Adidas or what. And that's great, really great. But if we don't get JuJu, hopefully this mystery pot of money likes what they see and contributes to whoever the next QB is, or just the FB team in general.

It will be interesting if Tayven develops enough this year to get the job next year. With this staff it's possible.

Soresby may want back??

I wouldn’t want Sorsby back. There are better options out there and that guy was done with the whole IU experience. He had a deal lined up for the transfer likely prior to the last game here with his foot out the door. He wouldn’t even stay to listen to a new coach’s pitch.
At the time here, he was a very bright spot on terrible teams. That’s the reason he stood out.

Sorsby is a hero in Cincinnati so far. I'm sure they'll pay him. I doubt he'll want to go anywhere.
12 TDs , only 1 pick. Lot of good stats in their two losses. I couldn't see him coming here anyway, from either side.

I don't want him back... Didn't care for the way he left or the way he played in the Bucket Game... A few of those late throws were..., let's just say highly questionable..., from a guy of his talent level... If he moves on from Cinci I hope it's not back here...

 

[Hoosiers Rising]

It all worked out for the best. Wink wink.
