How many QB sacks has your QB had this year?

Is he able to move around the pocket? Mobile?

How many yards rushing does he have this year?

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.

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?

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

I'll answer these in a very general way with my take below in (....)

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.

Iowa has given up 12 sacks this year.

Is he able to move around the pocket? Mobile?

Yes, Ruddock is fairly mobile and able to move within the pocket when under pressure. Has a good head about him and will throw it away when nothing is available.

How many yards rushing does he have this year?
In 12 games Ruddock has 62 carries, 266 yards gained, 43 lost for a net of 223 . 5 rushing TDs.
