We at Dear Old Gold have not been the biggest fans of the young Iowa football quarterbacks performance through four games this season. In fact, he just made our list of opportunities for improvement after the Wisconsin game. As we said there though, this is a result of high expectations for Nate Stanley.
Until last week’s game against Northern Iowa though, Stanley appeared to be following a familiar progression that we have seen too often over the years with Iowa quarterbacks. It looked like Nate Stanley was pressing and attempting to do too much. He also just didn’t appear comfortable in the pocket and was struggling to progress through his reads.
