How many QB sacks has your QB had this year?

Is he able to move around the pocket? Mobile? (We have not given up many sacks this year. He is mobile, meaning he can escape trouble, but not mobile as defined as a running qb)

How many yards rushing does he have this year? (This isn't an issue. He has limited running ability. He has rushed for td's. He can run, but no one would define him as a running qb)

I guess I am trying to figure out the Iowa OL/RB et.al. blocking for your QB dynamic vs. the LSU front 4/front 7 etc. with LSU blitz play calls as they unfold. (It has been our OL. That's really all one needs to say. It is always our OL and our D)

LSU's def. line does not have a long history of "stuffing" the run or getting into the backfield (much less QB sacks). Has Iowa performed well in the OL/RB/FB blocking area for their QB in their important games? (OL is our hope)

Should be an important deciding aspect of this game, IMO.

On paper, to me at at least it comes down to our TE's on your LB's. A defensive scheme to put pressure on your QB, and probably cover 3 on your WR's.

It would not surprise me to see Rudock pull it and run several times thia game. During the season there were many times when lots of us questioned why he wasn't pulling it on the read option. The consensus is generally that he was instructed not to. Generally Ferentz preaches not to take risks and is probably one of the big reasons Rudock beat out the other 2 qbs.

I really could see them game planning for him to pull it in some key situations that he hasn't in the past, hopefully gashing yards by catching the D unprepared.
