Totally Insane Iowa Stats

[BryceC]

The total offense per game is 158.00 YPG. Next lowest is 232.5. 131 teams in FBS means the 118th team would be the bottom 10% - that team averages 299.5 YPG. They are almost twice as bad as the bottom 10% team.

Navy has more passing yards than Iowa. Navy has only completed 8 passes.

I haven't been digging but those are two pretty hilarious ones. I'm curious to see what level of ineptitude we could discover.

Iowa only had 1 reception by their WR's... That isn't going to get it done.

Actually 2. Wick and Bruce. 10 by the TEs for a total of 12 receptions on the day.

They only have 7 all year, 6 to Bruce and 1 to Alec Wick. Only two receivers have caught a pass in 2 games.

A thing of beauty.

If their offense continues at the level of futility it has so far that defense is going to be tired out during the heart of the Big 10 schedule. Their defense and special teams look stout but if they are on the field as much as they have been so far going to run into injury and conditioning issues at some point. Has to also be demoralizing to the defense to have to carry the team like that too knowing that they could still lose the game by holding the other team to 10 points.

All I gotta say is I respect Charlie Jones for evaluating his time at Iowa and thinking he can do better....I hope he has an insane game against them later in the season

Iowa WR Charlie Jones transfered to Purdue after last season. He had 21 catches last year for the Halks.

He has 21 catches already this year in two games at Purdue.

I think Kirk would rather lose by 30 than for CJ to go off on Iowa. Expect a co start double team and even LBers jamming him to help kirks ego out.

That's not just bad. It's historically bad. When Navy has more passing yards than you on only 8 completions...wow.

If this trend continues for the entire 12 game season, Brian Ferentz will be paid $475 per yard gained and $150,000 per touchdown.

Just imagine being Phil Parker, who's been tasked with trying to drag that team to wins so it can be palatable to name Brain the head coach.

I have heard some of the Iowa media saying it would take BF to basically step down, which is hilarious. I know people that have been around the Iowa program when BF was a player and has been coaching there. The guy has zero self-awareness.

Charlie has almost as many receiving yards as Iowa has total yards this year (286 to 316)

It seemed like it took until halftime for our coaching staff to finally embrace how bad Iowa is offensively. I get that it's hard to believe but they really should have changed how they called the whole game. Once you get past your own 40, there's no need to punt. Iowa cant get first downs. You dont need big plays, just focus on four-five yards a play, which is there against Iowa's defense. Know you have four downs to do this. Simple throws, take your time. If you don't convert, know that your offense will be right back on the field.

The post from their CB on twitter blaming himself for the loss because he only made a pick and didn't return it for a touchdown is hilarious. I can't image being on the defensive side of the ball for that team, you have to have the mindset that not only can you not allow points, but you have to score too.

Is Nico Regaini hurt, or did he graduate/transfer? Have to think their passing game will improve with K. Johnson back (hard to regress much more).

Glad you're not coaching, as that would have been a gift to a team that was struggling. May have just needed one first down to get a field goal attempt in a game we only won by 3.

K Johnson does not appear to be coming back. Rumors of Djk level stuff.
