It wouldn’t be an Iowa football game if we weren’t asking ourselves: Just how many points can the Hawkeyes score?
With a team total set at 16.5, obviously the folks in the desert do not think highly of the Hawkeyes’ offense in the Big Ten Championship. It’s not hard to see why. Iowa’s scoring has consistently capitalized on non-offensive touchdowns. Against Illinois, 14 points came from a kick return and an interception return for touchdowns. Against Nebraska, a blocked punt swiped a TD from the Huskers, and their highest scoring game of the season, Maryland, was a performance juiced by seven takeaways.
