The special Iowa football teams, on the other hand, are not defined by a good offense. At least those teams haven’t been in the last decade.
In 2015, Iowa had the 54th ranked scoring offense and was 74th in total yards. With 128 teams, neither of these numbers is anything more than average.
In 2009, Iowa was ranked 86th in scoring offense and 89th in total yards. This team actually ranks fairly low offensively, considering there were only 120 teams in the FBS in 2009.
At this point, I doubt any reader is surprised.
