For a solid two and a half hours Saturday afternoon I was preparing myself to face yet another season of offensive ineptitude. I was negotiating with myself to the point where I was truly hoping for two consecutive first downs. Just two first downs. Like that would’ve been an offensive feat!
And then I started going down the “I wonder” road. That road isn’t any brighter. I was wondering what Scott Frost and Paul Chryst and Kevin Johns and Luke Getsy and freaking Joe Philbin would’ve done differently to fix the Hawkeye offense. And it all seemed significantly better.
