A big topic of discussion for Iowa Football ahead of the 2025-2026 season is the offense. The normal discussion surrounding the Iowa offense is whether they can be competent enough, but ahead of the 2025-2026 season, the discussion has shifted.
Last season, the Hawkeyes exhausted all of their healthy quarterback options, turning to three different starters as the injuries continued to pile up.
At the beginning of the season, Michigan transfer quarterback Cade McNamara was the starter following his return from an injury the season before in his first year with the Hawkeyes.
McNamara was unable to move the needle forward for the Iowa offense and suffered another series of injuries, forcing Iowa to use backup Brendan Sullivan.
