The sentiment among Iowa fans is perhaps at its worst since 2014. But in 2014, the apathy didn’t really hit until the home stretch of the schedule, or perhaps even the postseason for some fans. Even in the dismal 2012 season that was the first losing regular season under Kirk Ferentz since 2000, things were not as apparently dire at the midway point as they are now.
Through six games this season, the Hawkeyes are 3-3. It’s not a terrible mark, but it’s not good considering Iowa is set to travel to Ohio State to take on the Buckeyes after the bye week - a place they have won a game in more than 30 years.
