Yeah and the first possession he was in, he was missing receivers big time.
Slightly different situations. I wanted to see how the hoops team stacked up against a final four caliber team in an early season game on our home floor. On the other hand, this game is huge at this point in the season and I am super glad that DeJean is out. Hopefully it helps us get that 6th win.

College Football QB Power Rankings: LSU's Jayden Daniels returns to No. 1, Illinois' John Paddock enters
Yes, I know he's only on the rankings because they're written by Tom Fornelli, but still cool to get good press.

Preach!!!
Even if Luke wins, he can't win. It's not that he lost his spot, it's that Paddock won it.
I get Indy was soft, but come on!
Also if Luke looses it's worse for everyone headed into the last stretch of games. Whatever controversy you were trying to put out becomes an inferno.
Not fair to either player, imo.

Yet, we've been debating it for days.
In that scenario, we'd be forced to start Cal Swanson.

Dude, I just looked at your recent posts … did Paddock like kick your dog?? Or are you just someone who gets off on talking down to others who are ~less realistic~ than you are?
Bad decision IMO.
LA 100% going to start. BB used the exact line I said he might use, "Players don't lose jobs to injury." - very calculated.
If I was someone on the team I would think that this decision was related to a transfer deal promise and be kind of pissed at LA (whether it's true or not) if he has a bad game and we get our !!! kicked. And there's no way you can pull LA mid-game if we start to get beat on under these circumstances or you look like a clown. LA should have told BB to let Paddock start IMO. BB coming out and saying that he told him that the start was his if he wanted it, because he went down to injury, but then he declined and told BB that he didn't think it was in the team's best interest for him to come in cold off of a concussion vs a strong team like Iowa when Paddock has been doing great. Only way this is anything but a terrible idea is if he goes out there and has a good game/wins.

I agree. I bet even Altmyer unsderstands that. I'm also not sure it is even fair to Atmeyer himself to start?
The point's probably already been made but I agree with this one. Altmeyer is being set up to fail. Fair or not, folks are going to hold up what he does against one of the best defenses in the country against what Paddock did last week, and if it's not good enough, you'll never hear the end of how the wrong guy was in there. If you start Paddock he's playing with house money and you can pull him at any time knowing that people will understand why you did it, because they will have seen him fail with their own two eyes.
Maybe Evan's the best choice here in a vacuum, but there's a good chance this casts a shadow over him that may follow him around for a long time.

Debating whether he should start, not if he's currently the best player after JerZahn and Isaiah.
Am the only one not happy about killing the momentum our team has with JP by starting Luke ?
Welcome to the thread
That’s the inevitable comparison. Unless LA can dominate Iowa, a common interpretation will be he was a big step backward from JP. Yes, it’s a tougher team but that will still be what fans see and conclude. It could collapse fan morale. If I sense a blowout I’ll be inclined to stop watching in disgust over what might have been.
