CJ vs. REFS. CJ wins.
The Good: C.J. Beathard
Yes, it was Marshall Koehn who crushed a 57-yarder to win the game as time expired. But it was C.J. Beathard who put him in the position to kick it. Beathard’s passing stats aren’t going impress anyone. Hell, he didn’t even throw for a touchdown and tossed an awful interception that made it a three-point game. But it was Beathard, who I’ve created an image of being a moonshine drinking, chain smoking, country music loving, Joe Namath fur coat wearing, wheeling and dealing quarterback*, who orchestrated this victory and put Iowa in the position to win.
