There's no question about it: The Cy-Hawk game was a major disappointment for Hawkeye fans everywhere. From bad special teams plays to a lackluster offense to even some lapses on defense, that game was an all-around poor performance.
The good news? There's a long season ahead with lots of opportunities to improve.
That improvement starts this week against UMass. The Minutemen are 0-2 this season, losing to Temple 42-10 in Week 1 and last week to FCS Bryant 27-26. With the Hawkeyes favored by over 30 points, expectations are for a blowout victory.
