The Iowa Hawkeyes got themselves back on track a week ago in one sense. Iowa sits alone atop the Big Ten West standings thanks to a road win over the Northwestern Wildcats and losses from not one, not two, but all three other West teams still truly in the race.
But Iowa did not get back on track in the sense that the offense still looks completely lost under Brian Ferentz and backup QB Deacon Hill. The Hawkeyes managed just 169 yards of total offense a week ago and continue to solidify their place at the bottom of the national ranks for offensive output.
