Q1 [3] Q2 [3] Q3 [13] Q4 [21] -- When's the last team we saw acceleration like this?

[HawkNole09]

Answer: Never.

Fans can piss and moan about the first half, but there is very little doubt that this offense is FAR SUPERIOR to past years.

Way to open it up Lester. Great freakin' start!!

Yep.

I posted what follows in several other threads:

The 2nd quarter offensive numbers were much better than the 1st qtr.

Things got even better in the 3rd & 4th quarters, when Iowa simply wore out its FCS opponent.

Note the yds/rush in the 1st quarter (2.1). Iowa ended up with 6.0 yards/carry for the game.

As you can also see below, Cade was 13-14 for 177 yards in the 2nd half.
