Pessimism surrounding the Iowa Hawkeyes feels to be mounting. Not to unseen heights, because we were right here a year ago, but pessimism is certainly on the rise around the fanbase.
What started as a decent enough offense to kick off the 2023 season slowly faded into a concerning display of ineptitude. Then Cade McNamara went down and over the last two weeks we’ve seen the wheels completely fall off the car that already seemed to be on fire.
The timing is miserable as the struggling Iowa offense now heads into the lion’s den to face off with the Wisconsin Badgers, who have had Brian Ferentz’s number as much as any defense in the conference over the last half decade.
