Iowa Struggles in the Passing Game Could Cost Them


            Getting passed the passing game is going to be the real key for the Iowa Hawkeyes this Saturday in their game against University of Northern Iowa.  Through two games, they have managed to score only one Touchdown.  The quarterback, James Vandenberg has only averaged 182 yards a game with two interceptions.  The receivers have combined for a total of 10 drops.  Iowa has been to the red-zone 6 times and has yet to come out with a Touchdown.  There is no real explanation for the Iowa Hawkeyes bad passing game. They return two outstanding receivers as well as a 2nd year starter in James Vandenberg who led the league as a pocket passer.  All the statistics had the Hawkeye's passing game up in the top of the league. Instead, they sit at 98th in the country and 114th in scoring.  There are only 5 teams in the country who have scored less point than we have and all of them are 0-2.  We should be lucky we are not 0-2.  One thing is for sure, if Iowa doesn't acquire an offensive passing game, Iowa will have a losing record and miss out on a bowl game for the first time since 2007.
