Rudock vs Indiana (2014): Good Rudock
Last year Jake Rudock started and played against Indiana during Iowa's homecoming. At the time, Iowa had announced plans to split snaps between Rudock and Beathard, but Jake's fast start resulted in only a couple series for Beathard.
Jake was 19 of 27 for 210 yards and 2 TDs in a 45-29 victory over the Hoosiers. Rudock started 9 of 11 which included a well-thrown 72 yard TD pass. His QBR was 80.3 while Sudfeld posted a 10.8 ranking and left the game early with an injury.
Whether this bodes well for Michigan against the Hoosiers will be determined Saturday, but I like our chances.
Iowa did not play Indiana in 2013, and Rudock did not see action in the 2012 game.

I think MGoBlue has switched it up where they don't designate RS anymore. It only shows their "true" status as a student. Probably another Harbaugh request.

I think they've done that since at least the Carr years.

mgoblue lists them by class not by eligibility. You'll notice that Desmond Morgan, Blake O'Neill, Jake Rudock, and Wayne Lyons are listed as 5th.

dude.

Does anyone not play strong against Indiana?

Hopefully "the defense" won't be the answer your question this year.
November 11th, 2015 at 3:07 PM ^
I meant against their defense. I know they have a solid offense.

At least recently, here have been a couple teams - a couple of which are noted above - that have come out of the gate flat against Indiana but somehow managed to pull it out. In the Kevin Wilson era as a whole, just for the sake of using newer data, Illinois and Purdue account for 4 of the 6 conference wins that they have in that span, so there are a couple teams - for well-known reasons - prone to even Indiana.

to hit a deep ball, isn't he? If he could just hit one or two a game, that would open up our running offense so much more. Don't get me wrong, I will take smart reads and great throws on the intermediate stuff to move the chains, but dang, it would be nice to see a ball that travels 35-40 yards in the air and then is caught. I know Rutgers is a bad football team, I'm just hoping that Jake is trusting himself more and that those passes were more about him progressing in the offense than Rutgers just being bad at football.

It would be great to see him at his best for the last two games of the season (like Denard in 2011).

hope his confidence is up on the shorter and over the middle stuff after Rutgers; be nice to hit a couple deep balls against IU to let him (and PSU/OSU) know that he can do it down the stretch.

If Rudock throws a 72 yard TD i will lose my mind.

I saw up there that people were saying players are listed by academic status. Does anyone have a link to a list of players we'll have back next year?
November 11th, 2015 at 4:22 PM ^
I don't have that list in front of me.

I really hope the defense just shuts down the IU offense. It would be sweet music to the ears to get a 42-7 type win on the road vs a decent up-tempo offense.
