Run game sucks still, Cade sucks still and everything else is BAU.

Sneaking into playoff looks a lot less likely already. Offense this crappy will equate into a loss you should not have. One mistake will cost you a game when you score like a soccer team.
As we’ve all heard “it all starts up front”. The ability to run the ball opens everything else up. Even a vanilla offense can score points if the damn line could block and a sophisticated offense couldn’t do shit if the line can’t do its job.
It's absolutely crazy to me that this O goes against this D all spring and all fall, and then looks like this against Illinois State.
OL still blows. Proves being 1 year older means absolutely nothing
That ball looked so bad coming out of Cade's hand on what should've been an easy 10 yd throw.
It's like he never turned the ball through the throw and just pushed it put.
Also, glad to see our running game hasn't change. Just robotically run to assigned spots and hope there's a lane.
If not, "f*** it, we can always hope our defense scores" - Kirk Ferentz, probably

You were just saying out loud what many of us were thinking.
It's really amazing. You could take out that top 50% of quarterbacks in college football and then throw a dart and be 90% sure you'll end up with a better quarterback.
After ONE Quarter:
Iowa Offense:
1 first down
1-5 (20%) on 3rd down
34 total yards
Cade: 3-8 (38%) for 17 yards
Moulton & Williams: 8 rushes for 17 yards

Seriously they need to give Sullivan snaps. We can't go into ISU game with this shit
Everytime the Iowa offense steps on the field an angel loses its wings.
obviously it would be too much to expect to keep pace with last year's historic offense
I felt Kirk should have stepped down after the Holiday Bowl win against USC.
I still feel that way today.
Kirk won’t change, and the game on the offensive side of the ball has completely passed him by.
This offense is still Kirk ball. I don’t see anything different that suggests Tim Lester has any imprint on it whatsoever.
We’re not sneaking into a bowl game with this offense if it doesn’t drastically improve.
Interesting questions - is it Lester or Wallace that makes the call on any QB switch (or lack thereof) today?
Flipped over to Georgia-Clemson and saw more imagination in 2 plays that we likely have in our whole playbook
Shut up about this being on the OL!
Cade has had plenty of time to make the read and throw .. he missed MANY open rec .. he just isnt good

0 threat of throwing the ball. D can pin their ears back and charge. Impossible to block
Regardless what happens after him, he had plenty of opportunity to stand up to his head coach and dad and say this shit doesn't work and we need to do it differently. Regardless wether he engineered it he still conducted it, and that makes him unfit.
Remember. We got a different version of Brian out of an analyst role after a half ass coaching search. No one in the galaxy not named ferentz was excited about the Lester hire.
Good thing they improved so much in off season
They have improved so much.
