Iowa's offense was inconsistent during the first few weeks, due to shaky quarterback play, and the inability of multiple players to stay healthy.

Iowa quarterback Mark Gronowski acknowledged his inconsistent play over the first few weeks, and chalked it up to not being confident in the new offensive scheme, and the need to slow the game down.

During Iowa's first Big Ten road game at SHI Stadium in Piscataway, New Jersey, the offense finally found something, putting up 38 points on the Rutgers defense in the 38-28 win.

After Iowa's offense appeared to find something against Rutgers, the inconsistencies showed up again in the loss to Indiana last Saturday, especially after Gronowski went out with an injury.
