I wonder how many of those are squarely on McNamara.

You ready for this? All of them.

He has 5 INTs and he lost 2 fumbles against Ohio State

 

[ClarindaA's]

Now imagine our defense from 2 years ago with even this offense

Scoring has definitely improved but the offense is still pretty anemic.

Extremely frustrating to think about

 

[ClarindaA's]

Extremely frustrating to think about

Wasted elite defense because of Brian, missed recruits, lack of aggression

5-3

All seven Iowa turnovers are the property of one Cade McNamara. Between Hill and McNamara, KF--the man who says he hates turnovers--has played two of the best turnover machines this side of Dunkin Donuts.

Those are "best chance of winning" stats in one coach's mind.

Yeah, Lester will be judged after the 2025 and 2026 seasons as to whether the passing game is getting more like 200 to 250 yards per game. I am sure he is working hard and I know he knows how to do it because some of his W Mich and other offenses he guided had very good passing stats.

Lester has to convince Kirk to play the best overall QB, running, passing, and decision making. And find and or make the next great Iowa QB.

The offensive efficiency is ranked 58th way better then the 110 plus it has been the last few years. Defensive efficiency is currently 12th, it was top 5 until the MSU game. Last few years it has been top 6. While the offense will never be high octane it has been extremely better then previous years.
