Was there any mention of injuries in the post game press conference? How healthy is the team heading into week 3?

The only decision that kind of bothered me yesterday was putting JJ back on the field for the 2 minute drive before the half.
I get that this was likely the plan all along. Cade got a 2-min drive to end the first half last week, so JJ gets the next opportunity if it comes up. But the context of the game made it seem like a sort of slap in the face to Cade. The game was already decided, JJ had played as dominant of a half as he could, and Cade's one drive was torpedoed by multiple blown assignments on the OL and a dropped pass. I feel like if he is allowed to finish out the half and leads a TD drive, we might feel a lot better about his demeanor going forward. It's one thing to be demoted, it's another to be demoted in a fairly humiliating fashion like he was last night.
Of course, nothing to say Cade wouldn't have gone 3-and-out again in that situation, but with the game already in question, the result of the drive was not really the important factor

Oh dear. That's all-oh dear.

But would you have felt better if JJ's first 2-minute drive this season took place against Iowa's defense? I thought Butt's commentary did well in explaining why getting JJ experience in the 2-minute drive context was important.

At that point, it was clear that JJ was going to be the starter going forward. Getting the starter a 2-minute drill is the important thing. It was the right move.

I'd rather other schools don't look too closely at Jay.

This Minter guy seems to be doing OK so far.
