“A Star Is Born” was the top movie at the box office last weekend, and if reports out of Iowa are to be believed, Bradley Cooper plays the role of Iowa State freshman quarterback Brock Purdy.
At least that’s how it feels. One columnist already dared compare Purdy to Seneca Wallace, the electric gold standard of Iowa State quarterbacks past.
Purdy is the Cyclones third man up behind center this season, but his performance against Oklahoma State was revelatory.
The true freshman from Gilbert, Ariz. who chose Iowa State over Texas A&M and Alabama was 18 of 23 for 318 yards and four touchdowns against the Cowboys.
