Iowa State was 83rd in the country in total offense. We have Iowa State’s spread offense we are 10 and 2 and possibly playing in a rose bowl!!!! Iowa fans would have done unforgivable things to have Iowa State’s offense last year!
New Story Brian Ferentz Had Better Be Right
- Thread starter Adam Jacobi
- Start date
And so if we only have the 83rd ranked offense in 2023, you will cheer it? Extend Brian's contract!
We would not have won any more games than we did. Turnovers absolutely killed us against Iowa State and Nebraska. You take away those turnovers and we win those two games right there. Or does a spread formation offset high turnover games also?
I would absolutely cheer it!!!!! When you have the 83rd best offense you won’t be in dog fights when your defense gives up 10 and 9 points respectively to Iowa State and Illinois. You win both of these games by double digits. Not to mention Nebraska.
Actually undersized OLines, which were at a built-in disadvantage.
As much as we make fun of ISU least Cambell isn't afraid of trying to improve his team. Just think they had 83rd ranked offense and they fire the long time OC who has been coaching with Campbell for over a decade since his days at Toledo. If Iowa finishes 83rd we reward our OC with a contract renewal which would be the highest ranked offense in BF's 7 years. We have the 100th ranked offense last season we most likely finish at least 9-3, maybe 10-2.
You taking over for cmhawks99?
From the article : "We're going to do the same things, and we're going to do them better." I'll give him this much credit - he's stayed true to his promise they're going to do the same thing. The second part, not so much. So now, they're starting to line up.
Funny thread.

let me ask people this, have you ever seen so many passes bounce off receivers facemasks like we have the last 4 years? (Happened again on Saturday vs Minn) Or bounce off their hands?
It happens every game.
Two schools of thought:
1) Iowa Coaches: “Hits their hands, should have been caught!!! Receivers fault!!! Derp.”
2) Me and others: Throw early, throw with touch, maybe 80%, throw accurate, the receiver can not only catch it but hell maybe even in stride and turn up field!
How about receivers having to make an acrobatic motion/leap/etc to even catch the ball? We have seen this for the last 4 years. RB only 5-7 yards away, acrobat catch, have to gather their feet, defense closes and drills them.
Watch other programs offenses…good QBs will throw early, throw accurate, receiver catches in stride, huge YAC.
Tell me, is this what you see at Iowa?

Justin Herbert on the biggest change he had to make to his game to play in the NFL.
“I had to work on slowing down my passes.” - Justin Herbert
Why o why would an NFL franchise work with him on slowing down his passes? Hmm.
I wonder why the Chargers thought this was important?

We can only dream of being that ‘good’
83rd still blows, and we’re light-years away from it.
This is it for Brian. Brian is done.
83rd, 133rd. Whatever it takes.
Great analysis here. No reason to question the offensive scheme or tendencies.
I guess the worst offense in College Football cannot get much worse, but, maybe it can
This thread is full of a lot of fun stuff. Good to read through again
