After he broke his throwing hand he finished the those games with 935 yards 6 TD's and 8 INT's.
This year though he has all three of those WR's back, one who stepped up pretty big last year, and a much better TE this year. Not to mention its his second year in the spread offense(our OC who game from Rice broke nearly every offensive record there after a down first year including having a top 5 offense in the Nation) and this is the first time AA has been in the same offense two years in a row.. not to mention its also his Senior year. Like I said, hes poised to have a big year.
He was very impressive last week(outside just a few throws) against NIU who is ranked higher than ISU, went to a Bowl game last year, and they have the #1 defense in whatever conference they are in.

Get your homer goggles off man, they're killing brain cells. You think hobbling around on a nearly broken ankle had anything to do with the stat lines in those 3 games? You can't seriously say shit like that and then follow it up with a pro Austen Arnaud post within the hour. The only good defenses AA faced last year were Iowa and Oklahoma State (injured against Nebraska). Let's take a look at the stat lines for those games:
24/49, 267 yards, 1 TD, 7 INT's.
Real impressive. Everyone fear the Cyclones aerial assault.
Also, saying Gabbert looked like shit last week doesn't hold much weight when you say Austen Arnaud looked very impressive with his 0 TD's and 2 picks against a team that you don't even know what conference they're in.
