Week two brought with it a new type of frustration for Iowa fans. In week one, the Hawkeyes looked to be in control for most of the game, but lost on a slew of mental errors and a pair of turnovers deep in Purdue territory. In week two, it was a lack of offensive output after being gifted 14 points en route to a 20-point first half and a 6-point halftime lead.
Iowa failed to score in the second half and generally looked nothing like we had hoped to see on the offensive side of the ball with first year starter Spencer Petras throwing more than 50 times in just his second start and the run game looking putrid when it was tried.
