John steppie drait gach um I don't remember seeing jazine Patterson out there on Saturday can you kind of comment on his status and do you have a sense of how quickly Seth Anderson could get back on the field yeah so Jazz that was a coach's decision to keep him uh keep him out he'll be back was back with us yesterday and we expect him to be right to roll this week and great young guy you know just uh something we decided to do uh Seth is it's not as bad maybe as we thought initially but nonetheless I guess it was last Wednesday like we met Tuesday so the next day of course and um you know doesn't look is bad right now we'll probably know a little bit more here by the end of the week but it won't be this week it's you know hopefully we're talking about a week or two not not multiple weeks Coach Jeff du KCI in De Mo I thought a great stat that came out of the game last Saturday was ree vanders was the first true freshman white out for Iowa to score a touchdown on the season oer since 2006 he obviously had two in the game the first freshman to do that since I think 2017 when was it if there was a moment that you saw him practice that this was the type of guy who could make an impact at such a young age and if it wasn't a moment what did you see that I guess gave you confidence in in in him excuse me yeah I'll go back to recruiting him we were you know really excited about him and I saw him two years ago I guess I saw Zach playing basketball lmer and he was he was out there playing and uh I got to go up and see him turn our by week last week uh saw a couple games that night and uh just like he was playing quarterback just like the way you can handle himself carries himself um and then it was frustrating this summer cuz he had a multitude of things that kind of held him back from the summer program uh just you know just general training and U so you know he missed a lot of time that way fortunately he was able to get back and get going and uh since we've been in practice he just carries himself well I don't know how well you know him he's I want say he's expressionist but he doesn't he doesn't get real uh you know dem monster if he just really study very focused and and mature for his age I think in his experience level so uh he just continues to grow continues to do a good job with whatever we throw at him and uh as we went on you know it just became apparent to to us that you know he's probably the the guy to have in there and um you I thought he you know again just watching on TV it looked like he really performed well the other day and I'm out on the sideline seeing him and all those things but he just seemed to handle things in stride so it's not too big for him and um he certainly likes to compete and it was good to see him go up with his hands and catch balls and you know make some plays for us Mitch VI kjn I know you guys have had camp and scrimmage with helmet coms and tablets but what have you heard about how that worked out on Saturday and the advantage it can bring to just get instant feedback yeah it seems like all the feedback is really good I was curious about that uh Sunday morning and yeah seemed like everything went pretty smoothly no major delays I guess you know they run a little bit behind with the tablets but uh it sound like it was really good I think everybody thought there was a benefit to it for sure Owen Sebring with kg and last year when you guys played Iowa State State probably didn't know a lot about Roco Beck that was the only time only his second start of his career now you've had a chance to see a lot more of him a lot more game of him as you look at him this week what are some challenges that he particularly presents to your defense yeah is when I talked about them being a veteran team veteran in the key parts and that's one of the ones positions as referencing well he's not an old guy but he's he's really played enough now where I think he's a very confident guy very very poised and just does a good job running their offense so they've got a really talented group of receivers uh tight end brahmer is a really good football player so they've got guys that they can get the ball to and I'm sure they will so he's he's done a really nice job leading their football team and uh I'm guessing his best football is still ahead him Chad Li too again wanted to ask about Caleb and Caleb um Johnson obviously was out in the first half is it is there anything he needs to be doing better to be in like you know good standing with you guys etc etc and then also Caleb Brown how's he looked in coming back this week will he be a part of your plans on Saturday yeah he's looked good both both those guys and you know anything that that happens along the way you know we just our deal is like we deal with it and then uh my encouragement for everybody is we're looking forward you know we're not looking back unless there's a reason to and uh Caleb is really practiced well um well I got two calebs here right yeah Caleb Johnson let's start there the first guy you asked about he's really been practicing well and did a good job and when he went in there I wasn't surprised like you know he just that's how he's been practicing really focused and and uh hit the holes hard and all those types of things so good to see that that's probably as good as well as I've seen him run the football since he's been here and uh great young guy got a great attitude and good and then Caleb uh it's going to be good to get him back too and um you know so last the week the deal was last week he worked on the scout team against our defense and U Phil and those guys said he did a great job and that that's what you're hoping to hear so he had a great attitude about it he's back in in the rotation now and yeah he'll be out there Saturday I don't know how much but he'll be out there yep uh Blake horste hawkey headquarters uh coach I think maybe some people wondered if the passing game would come along and you know first new system obviously Kate coming off with an injury but to see the success that it had uh in the first game of the season is that a pretty encouraging sign moving forward uh yeah I mean it's encouraging certainly um I think it's combination of a lot of things you know I think the line were were a little bit more veteran up there I thought the guys overall protected pretty well you know that didn't seem like that was an issue at all for us so that was helpful uh Cade working through you know his his uh you know leave of absence for a while you know going through that he's been a little bit of a sabatical medical sabatical so working through that and then the receivers did a good job for the most part going and getting the ball running good routes things like that so uh you know good combination and and some of those plays that Kade made were under dur rest you know not not necessarily because of a breakdown but uh those guys blitzed a lot had free rushers coming so thought he handled that situation well too we got plenty of Blitz practice on Saturday no question uh Adam chobe Hawkeye Beacon Kirk how would you evaluate uh Kamari Molton you know getting that start in in that you know sort of odd situation how do you think he did with that opportunity that he got yeah we talked about Reese and same thing I mean kamari's been here for a year but he's he's a young player really hasn't doesn't have much game experience so thought he did a lot of good things he really did and he handled it well uh he's a just a really steady guy every is pretty much the same with him it's a good day and works hard so that that's what again you know you can't simulate things game experience and and for players like that the younger guys that haven't played Bo is a really good experience for them to be out there in competition tough competition and having to perform and uh those are two guys right there that haven't done much for us but certainly have a chance to help our football team a lot whether you talk about him or Reese maners y a attachment with the de Mo register we were just talking to TJ Hall and um it sounded like he took the the Nebraska game pretty hard the one two two seasons ago when he kind of got thrown into it um what how have you seen kind of him grow from that moment to where he is now yeah I'm not laughing about that I'm laughing in that you know I mean name a player or coach who hasn't had that uh that's just part of part of the the journey if you will and um that's kind of what is referencing with teams you know you're going to go through hard times and we went through it Saturday you know offensively we're up against it a little bit and the guys just kept pushing for forward and um you know player like TJ he's probably being a little too hard on himself you know if talking about that one specific incident but um you know it's part of part of playing football whether you're a first year guy like that or it could be a senior you know what's your response going to be that's the major thing in sports and um you know he's done nothing but good good things missed a lot of time due to injury which was unfortunate and that slows development but this spring you know really looked good and he's had a really nice camp and uh you know it's good to see him in in the freay like he is he's doing a really good job and he's got a lot of football in front of him Kirk La kff Hawkeye Beacon to revert back to Kate a little bit I guess can you can you tell a difference in maybe his confidence or or the way he's carried himself maybe not even from Saturday but from Camp because again what we saw Saturday was something we haven't seen from from K in black and gold yeah I mean just hope that was coming and uh but there's no guarantees on that one and you know I mean he's always been confident and I think he knows what to do and all those types of things but at some point you just got to you got to do it and then you've got to You Know sample some success or you know taste it a little bit and and experience it and um you know again you can't hand that to a player they've got to go out and do it and and and work through it and it hasn't hasn't always been easy you know on a couple levels so um credit to him for sticking with it and you know fighting through that first half it didn't go perfect for us obviously but came back and just did some really good things in the second half and hopefully with with each U each day practice or game experience you know he's going to keep getting more confidence in himself and he's moving around he's throwing the ball and just you know looks a lot more relaxed out there and that's that's a that's a really you know it's easy for me to say Hey you know relax enjoy the game all that stuff you know good luck now here's a ball go do it a whole different story but credit goes to him on that one hey coach Matt Mall the da Island um Jeremiah Pitman he got some extra on Saturday doesn't have a whole lot of starts in his career but how valuable is the patience that he has to have you know to sit behind in the dep chart and also what is his potential yeah well his potential remains to be seen but he's improved with every step of the way and um you know we have some guys talking about a couple young guys who played Saturday but you know most of our guys you our majority of our newcomers this year going to be red shirting it looks like uh you know you never know what's going to happen but it looks like that and that's kind of been been the way in our program for quite times and you know when you get behind good players you get two pretty good defensive tackles right now so um you know for him to start may not be realistic at this given point uh but you know it's all in front of him right now and he's working hard every day and he's a much better player than he was a year ago at this time and that's it's great to see it's not a surprise because he's got a great attitude and works hard but that there's more of a process you for most players not all but most players have to just kind of kind of work at it and when they get their turn you know go in there and play play well and it was good to see Jeremiah I'm not surprised but it was good to see him do a good job out there uh Adam chobe Hawkeye bacon Kirk last time I'm going to ask about watching from home but from your perspective as a football coach and and having to you know watch a game on TV not to disparage your TV Partners or anything like that but what it from your perspective do you feel like you are missing the most versus you know being able to watch the game on the sideline it's just a totally different experience you you um you feel totally disconnected and I thought about that a little bit like you know if I were you know the difference is like you're not invested the way you are if you work here every day and are with the guys every day so um the closest thing would be like one of our kids games you know you're kind of invested you're a parent but it's still not the same is when you coach and work with people on a daily basis in a really intimate uh environment you know and that's what we get to enjoy and that's the best part of coaching is just that um you know the times when we get to shut the door and just do what we do or practice and all those kinds of things um so when you have that then it's really strange to be disconnected and it's you know was Cod of Silence on Saturday so you know left the hotel Friday night uh which was strange and then you know sleep in your own bed that night that's strange and then um basically wasn't sure what to do all morning and then the game came and then I really wasn't sure to do it halftime so uh it was kind of interesting but it all worked out you know it all worked out and then it's even stranger after the game cuz that's you know it's a either it's a really good time emotionally or a bad time and those those highs and lows make it really special so you miss out on all those things and you know and it it wasn't the same scene everybody on Sunday it's just that you know time Gap in there uh it's a little bit different but you know it's over and hopefully something I'll never experience again we'll see how it all goes y take a few more questions start that coach Matt Randazzo W qad not to take you back home again but you mentioned watching on TV it's nice place to hang on Mary's building a nice house did you you mentioned TV did you listen to the radio at all and if you did your thoughts on the new color commentator in the booth and how he did yeah you know I saw Pat at the hall of fame lunch in on Friday and that was enough right there no I'm joking but um first of all it was great great to to see both Adrian and Shawn go in and great to have them back and their families back that was outstanding and Adrian's High School coach was back also which was really neat he came up from St Louis so that was great uh Pat did a great job at the lunch in and as you know I mean pat pat gives you that crazy demeanor and all that stuff but he's he's a pretty deep thinker he knows what's going on and I'm guessing I haven't heard any reviews but I'm guessing he did pretty well my prediction is he will do really well in the future and he followed a great guy in Ed poac certainly Chad L to code Wayne register follow me for my office I think yeah there's always one one fly I just there's always one in my office too you know I think it's the coffee only good thing about winter yeah okay
