Uh, Stroud threw for almost 500 yards today. The offense had over 600 total. He missed some throws, sure, but he wasn't the issue today at all.I think Day was lucky in the past that he didn't have to adjust down his offense for his QB even though Haskins and Fields were fairly inexperienced. Burrow, Haskins, and Fields were all ready to run the vast majority of what Day wanted to do.
I just think Stroud needs the more typical path to developing a QB with easier reads, screens, and running the option. Just overall being more creative so they aren't reliant on Stroud as much to get the ball into playmakers hands.
College football offenses are constantly evolving. For Day to just run what he has been running for the last 3-4 years with a less developed QB wasn't going to result in enough of an offense.
Anyway, I know many have already given up on the season, but...Iowa is looking good against Iowa State. Hopefully Iowa runs the table to Indy..
