In all the 39 years I have been watching Iowa football. 65 yards? 66 yards?
Anyone else recall a more futile effort by an Iowa team?

I have never seen an Iowa offense look that pathetic

No, but at least they "warmed us up" with the MSU, NW and Minn games.
One positive of the game the offense won’t have any problems boarding the bus because they never got off.
Agree. I really don't know how an offense in college football could look worse. Our OL coach should be taking some heat. We are 10 games into the season so youth is no longer an excuse.
Sure you have...many times under KFz. Offense is a means of ball control and clock management. That's all.
un-F-ing believable...that he goes back into the same "armadillo ball" mode time and time again... after seeing success outside of it. One stubborn Mo-Fo

How is it possible that we are stuck watching this? If we don't drop all the way to dead last in D-1 offensive ranking...I'd hate to see who is worse.
I've seen bad offense under KF....but never "65 total yards" bad.
I think I will go back and look at each season that KF has been here and try and find a more pathetic display.
Exact numbers aside... there are plenty of examples. It's what he does.
Today it cost us against a good team. It's resulted in losses against lesser teams on numerous occasions. That's more unforgivable than the specific numbers of today's stats.
No it absolutely was not! Not 65 yards bad.
Edit: I looked it up. We had 100 yards of offense against Arizona St in 2004.
2004 was last time the run blocking was this bad. I'd say this Wisconsin performance is worse because
1) AZ game our defense was getting rocked
2) Our QB tate was in only is 3rd or 4th start and KOK had not yet given up on the run game and turned the keys over to Tate.
Didn't sound good on the radio. But like I said, the 3-4 is tough to defend. I hate to say it but Iowa has lost to Stanford & Wisky when they run the 3-4. I don't know if its the speed or what, but our Line can't seem to block it worth a crap. The guys on the radio made it sound like the LB's were everywhere and Iowa had no room to run.

Iowa might want to adopt the 3-4 themselves. But, of course, that would require change, and KF is not up for that.
Bet there will be a lot of signs posted around the fb complex this week that have the number 66 on them.
The 3 -4 defense and the zone blitzes we're designed to stop the pro style/west coast offenses. This is actually a stroke of genius by Alvarez, as the 2 teams in the western division that are threats to Connie (IA/NE) both run pro style.
That's a good way to get heat as an offensive cord. He gets a year on "new guy" credit but if this is the same stuff we are talking about next year GB is going to be firing a Ferentz. (You can't do worse than the last guy and expect to keep your job)
Before this game I thought the worst football I had ever watched was us against Florida. There is a new champ in town.
In what alternate universe in Brian Ferentz a " new guy"??????
...lost your damn mind
New offensive cord.
If you don't like that try this one.
The university of Iowa admin isn't going to do anything for 2-3 years on principals alone. It isn't Iowa like.
Edit: I will say if Iowa shows up as a boring offense in the bowl game Brian will need to produce before the end of 18 and may not get 19 like he would if they look decent in the bowl.

That makes no sense. Our D has been really good. It is not simple changing systems......see Nebraska.
FWIW. The 1969 Iowa team averaged 25.5 points per game. This years team is averaging 26.6.
There was no execution yesterday from the Iowa offense. I re-watched a couple of series and Iowa was a block from springing a couple of their runs. A couple of pass plays, the line was just confused/lost. Also the WR/TE's did no justice, I realize it was cold, but dang a couple of those drops were elementary catches. I 100% that this team was still riding high on beating OSU and let all the distractions get to them. I assume their practices were probably crap all week.
The defense looked okay, I thought they just got worn down in the 2nd half. They did their part, but the offense just didn't show up.

That seems like the story of Iowa for the last 19 years. The defense battled like wounded animals and the Offense let them down. I know there have been games but has thie r ever been a year the Offense carried more weight than the defense? 04?
I think
oline couldn't handle the stunts. How often did we see a rusher come up the middle untouched
FWIW I think there is an intelligent discussion to be had regarding the SandC program post rhabido. What was once a strength has now at minimum evened itself out.
They got 20 minutes of possession at least
Wisconsin 38:27 - Iowa 21:33

I don't necessarily agree with that. I think we have taken a huge step back with Polasek as our OL coach and Welsh has regressed. Plus Hock and Fant may be decent receiving TE's but they have no business on the field during a running play. They don't even seem interested in blocking or 'sealing' plays. You would think with KF and BF still there, they would insure there was no dropoff in the OL, but I'm telling you there is read and technique wise. I don't see that it has anything to do with strength or physicality.
