i think rudock will do a good job of getting the the team into the right play play at the line of scrimmage. He is pretty bright. Some times he was pretty effective. Personally, i dont think he had the warrior, fearless leader intangibles that some QBs have. My biggest beef with him is that he often threw the ball late, with a slow release.And his arm strength is average to below.
Iowa fans screamed that his backup was simply more gifted, and they wanted to se him play instead.
Jake was also prone to check down too quicky. He did not let the receiver make a play on the ball. So he played it safe. Ferentz liks that.
