In games with 100,000-plus fans, Iowa's offense has gone 44 straight possessions without a red-zone snap

If we'd just run the ball.

Will things change on Saturday?

The story:

On another note, Iowa is 77-5 when winning the turnover battle with Phil Parker as DC.

Alarming.

Brian’s offenses entered the pink zone on a few occasions though. Don’t forget that.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

Guess the ‘D’ , special teams or a ‘lucky’ offense scored?

The QB's in these games were Spencer Petras, Alex Padilla, Cade McNamara, and Deacon Hill. One of the the worst stretches of QB play in Iowa history.

 

[85Bears]

Sort of a misleading stat, instead of saying before 100,000 fans just say on the road at Ohio State, Michigan or Penn State. All pretty tough venues for anyone.

 

[QChawks]

I expect more of the same on Saturday

 

[Iron Doc]

(cringe)

 

[Jonesy5960]

I don't. Look at the OC and QB's in those games.

Deacon was the Hill that Brian Ferentz died on.

if we had just RUN THE BALL

 

[QChawks]

if we had just RUN THE BALL

running the ball does not work against the top teams

we need to PASS the ball to open up the run

You can go even further and say “….with historically the worst offense and QBs in the last 30 years.”

I like Chad, but that article is grasping at straws.

What is any programs success rate on the road at Ohio State and Michigan ?

Also out spent 5 or 6 to 1 in those games.

Just saw another graphic with Iowa in the lowest tier for nil in the big. Apparently some dip$hits don’t realize roster talent correlates with nil funding and don’t appreciate what this coaching staff is doing with culture and player development.

7 of the 10 against OSU in 2022 was a fumble recovery TD. So ten offensive points in those three games.
Run the ball
Punting is winning
0-3

That's at Nebraska, right?

Anyone who includes '22/'23 in any narrative about Iowa football that's not positive, is a fool

No Poll?

Alarming.

Yep, to say the least.

Yep, to say the least.

That lone 16 yard TD pass ended the streak.........

78-5*. Hopefully we can keep this going this weekend.

 

[ConvenientParking]

Two red zone snaps, two TDs? Or did we have a snap inside the 20 before that RPO?

Nope, 2 snaps. It's all we needed!
