After two seasons of abysmal production, national expectations for Iowa’s offense are as low as any point in recent memory. While the addition of former Michigan standouts Cade McNamara and Erick All and a pair of transfers at both wide receiver and offensive line have created some, it will take a lot more than a few new names on the depth chart to change the overwhelming negative perception of the Hawkeye offensive scheme. To transform Iowa’s offense from a national embarrassment to a unit capable of averaging the 25 points per game needed to save offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz’s job, the team will need to dramatically elevate their performance on the field compared to 2021 or 2022.
