Brian Ferentz's High Powered Offense Just Won A Football Game Without Completing A Single Pass To A Wide Receiver

Iowa football is such an anomaly to me. They’ve become must watch TV in a bizarre way. Every week, I tune in to see if their offense can somehow sink lower than it did the week before, and it always does. I’ll cut them a little bit of slack here. Starting quarterback Cade McNamara blew his knee out last week and is out for the remainder of the season. So I understand if maybe the offense isn’t exactly purring like a kitten. With that said, you can’t complete one fucking pass to a wide receiver?

Erick All is Iowa's tight end this year. He transferred from Michigan following a knee injury he suffered a year ago. To say he's their best offensive player is an understatement. He's their only player. He's going to end up being a first-round pick just because of sheer volume of touches. He's their entire offense. The lack of creativity just blows me away. You can't throw one screen? One slant route to try to get the offense going a little bit?

Kirk Ferentz may be the smartest football coach in America. Lower the expectations to the point that everyone pats on the back when you win. Despite having an offense stuck in 1947, Iowa has as good a shot to win the Big Ten West at this point as anybody. There's one thing I'm looking forward to with conference expansion: we can read ourselves of having to see Purdue or Iowa play in Indianapolis every year. Not one pass was completed to a wide receiver. What an unbelievable statistic.
