We share our thoughts on seeing Brendan Sullivan in red zone packages and what it means moving forward, and we discussed the defense and the need to stop giving up explosive plays.

The quarterback position is one of the bigger topics following Iowa’s crushing defeat against the Clones. In this episode, Tyler and Collin discuss heavily on this topic - what we need out of the QB position but also what is the better choice, Cade or Sully? We then get into Kirk talking about how Cade “needs more time” and “still learning the offense” and why that is unfair for the rest of the team. Collin gives his thoughts (so far) on the offense and the similarities of it while watching week 1 of the NFL season. We end the episode previewing and predicting our week 3 matchup against Troy.
