Give credit to our defense for keeping us in this one for as long as they did. Matt Scott was just 4-14 for 50 yards and an INT while Nick Foles was 6-11 for 55 yards and a TD. Again, no big play ability on the offensive side of the ball.
Congrats to Trevin Wade who had another interception and returned this one for a 38 yard TD score. Arizona fought hard in this one but Iowa was too tough in the end. We'll dive into all the analysis. For now, don't hold your head too low. We've got to regroup next week at Oregon State.
Oh yeah. Foles should be the QB. Y'all already know how I feel about that.

Agree
Foles should be the QB. We’ve got a talented running game (even if they were stymied in this loss), we need a guy who can throw under center. It was painful to watch the offense at times and, though it’s not all the QB’s fault (he didn’t always have a lot of time), the truth is Scott didn’t adjust and missed a number of open receivers.
Scott has shown absolutely zero command of the passing offense
He can run. Yes. But he rarely pushes the ball downfield, and checks down to his backs out of the backfield constantly.
Nick Foles deserves a shot. Matt Scott has running skills Foles does not have, but this is not a video game. Our offense is predicated on a quarterback who can run the offense efficiently (through the run or pass), and Scott has not proven he can do that. I hate a QB shuffle, but it will not be a shuffle if one guy can take over. Foles deserves an opportunity to take over. They are both sophomores, and going with the better one from here on out is what we should do. Give Foles a chance to prove he is better. The conference season looms with some huuuuuuge games to determine where this season goes.
