The Offense


       The offense. Oh god.  Someone give me the play calls.  We had a QB who threw for 25 TD’s his junior year.  We have multiple running backs and a decent offensive line.  Receivers struggled some, but they aren’t the reasons Iowa finished 102nd in passing.  Iowa also finished 105th in rushing yards per game.  The blame goes to one man named Greg Davis.  There hasn’t been an Iowa offense this bad in 12 years when Iowa went 2-10.  He had a senior QB and a lot of talent.  He chose to run 2-3 yard plays and call the most predictable calls.  I could tell 99 percent of the time whether it was going to be a pass or a run.  You can’t win games if a fan can call your plays.  Besides one pass, he didn’t throw over 25 yards.  If you run those short routes all season, the defense will not play deep.  They will inch up and intercept him.  James Vandenberg was a good quarterback with an awful coach.
Worst news of the season is that in a recent press conference, Ferentz said he was going to keep Davis and that he is more confident with him now than when he hired him.  Really, worst offensive production in your career and you like him?  It was infuriating to see Ferentz back up Davis.  Nobody is going to buy season tickets next year because Iowa will suck.  Until Ferentz and Davis leave, this program is doomed.  Maybe if we are lucky, we can get to the Alamo Bowl next year. Wooo.
