Christopherson reported that it is his left hand and that he will wear a brace

I just dont know if he has enough experience playing with a quirky injury like that.

Do you go with the younger guy who is healthy if you can get him a good game plan this week?

 
Nobody should take Iowa lightly, they would love nothing more than to spoil our season regardless of who our QB is. I'm truly worried.

Yeah, iirc during the Mary broadcast ESPN's computers had us at a 40% chance of beating Iowa. I don't know if that was assuming an unbroken Fyfe starting or Tommy or what.

 
Iowa is sitting at 7-4. However, their last two games they lost were to the #10 and #12 team in the country. They then went and beat the #3 team. The really big black eye on their record was North Dakota State but that was 10 weeks ago and NDS is knows to rise up and knock off Div 1 teams. They are not your average 1AA team.

This team is a good team that might very well beat us even if we had Tommy healthy.

This QB situation is going to be really interesting. Would you rather have Tommy that can't run because of a bad hammy or Fyfe with a bad wrist?

 
He's been waiting his whole life for this moment.

It's time.

Their run D the past few games has really shored up. We might need to pass like we did against Maryland to open the running game and get Iowa out of the box. Unsure how well this will be if he has to use one arm..... Or try 2 back sets. Read again how injuries to our OL have really prevented us from running a lot of the counters or traps.....Unsure how healthy they will be. I imagine they will sell out against the run and send the house against an injured Ryker or TA.....

Maybe Darlington will be ready to go with a limited set of plays that he can execute in his sleep. Langs did a good job getting plays called that Ryker could execute. Maybe the same for Darlington. It will be a bruising physical game for sure. Would be great to have a couple of options.

Lastly, Kudos to Fyfe for gutting it out. Might be the reason for the offensive drop off later in the game.....
