Except in Iowa's case, the backup QB Alex Padilla actually started 3 games last year and went 3-0 as a starter.  In typical Iowa fashion his stats were not great,  but Iowa won anyway.  His accuracy was low but he had a little better mobility than cement shoes Petras.  The mobility he showed last year could have been useful behind Iowa's awful OL this year.  But Padilla has not played 1 snap this year at QB.
Padilla receivers had a 17.9% drop rate compared to Petras's receiver drop rate of 6.3% in 2021. The high drop rate negatively affected Padilla's completion percentage. Plus, Padilla is mobile, has a quicker release, and Iowa has a porous offensive line.
I am not suggesting Padilla will save the season for Iowa; we cannot possibly know unless he plays. Is Padilla worse than the worst? This is what Brian Ferentz is saying through his words and deeds. Padilla probably has the inside track to start next season, will he want to play at Iowa if Brian Ferentz continues as O-Coordinator / Quarterbacks Coach?
I just picked this up off Wikipedia: On his year as a running backs coach, Ferentz stated in 2020 during a coaching clinic "I'm like the worst running back coach in America. I was a shitty running back coach... I did it for a year, and I quit. It was too hard. I was no good at it."[20] After taking over as quarterbacks coach in spring 2022, Ferentz told media "man, I got a lot to learn."

So they put him in vs OSU, and he turned the ball over on his first play with a botched snap. Then on his next play he turned it over with an interception. 

Not, not good.

Iowa could still sneak a victory or 2 this year but maybe it's time to give up and start playing the redshirt freshman QB Joey Labas and start building for the future.

Of course Kirk Ferentz may not be interested in starting over again.  Kirk might play Petras or Padilla the rest of the year,  maybe even sneak in one last bowl game, take some time to think about it, and step down in June.

it's always nice to show the fans that want the 2nd stringer, WHY he's NOT starting
Husker's 2nd string QB was put in a game, was sacked in the endzone and fumbled the ball for a defensive TD

The over/under for the Iowa-NW game is 31.5,  which is believed to be the lowest number in college football betting history.

I say 31.5 is too optimistic.  This could be the first game in a long time to finish with a 2-0 score.

he would be a brilliant OC if he'd just punt every 1st down

not sure if I'd use the term brilliant, but he'd be much better

People usually say this as a joke or exaggeration buy in the Iowa/tOSU game the Hawkeyes would literally have been better off to punt on first down every time.

Charlie Jones update

WR Charlie Jones had 3 TD catches in 3 years for Iowa.  In 8 games for Purdue Jones has 9 TD catches and 72 catches total for Purdue.  He is the poster child for how a player can flourish under one system and just drown in another. 

It's interesting.  Purdue is kind of looked at as the opposite of Iowa.  Somehow Jeff Brahm takes average WR's and QB's and makes them look like all Big Ten.  And guess who Purdue's OC is?  Jeff Brahm's brother Brian Brohm.    Meanwhile Purdue's pass defense can't stop anybody. 

So as different as Purdue and Iowa are,  they both have an offensive coordinater named Brian who is a direct family member of the head coach.
