The Iowa Hawkeyes Offense is Still Horrible

The Iowa Hawkeyes offense is still horrible despite the addition of Michigan transfers, quarterback Cade McNamara and tight end Erick All. Plus they lost their best player when tight end Luke Lachey went down with a season ending injury last week. Despite scoring 41 points the previous week vs. Western Michigan, there were some troubling signs heading into Saturday's nationally televised embarrassment at Penn State where the Nittany Lions shut out the Hawkeyes 31-0. Even with a 3-1 record, Hawkeyes quarterback Cade McNamara posted anemic numbers all season. This is a player who led the Michigan Wolverines to a Big 10 Title and a college football playoff appearance. Did he have a lot more talent around him in Ann Arbor? Yes. Has he played hurt this year? Yes. Did he get this bad all of a sudden? Probably not. Iowa Hawkeyes fans will tell you that the problem is offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz. Maybe it is. This problem with the Hawkeyes offense pre-dates Cade McNamara by a couple years. 

The numbers from the Penn State game are alarming! Penn State ran 97 plays compared to 33 plays for the Hawkeyes. There hasn't been a 60 play difference between FBS teams in the last 5 years. 

Adding to the Hawkeyes problems is their lack of game-changing talent around McNamara. Their offense seems simple and predictable. Defenses don't fear them. We are sure to garner a lot of comments and reaction from Hawkeyes fans on this podcast.   

We will also catch you up on the latest Big 10 news and we will have fun with our Tuesday Tweets. It's all on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.
