The outside perception of the Iowa passing game is a poor one. Everyone knows the Hawkeyes have struggled to move the ball through the air, and when they are forced to throw it, defenses can take advantage.
The Iowa passing attack has not averaged more than 200 yards per game since 2020, a very low bar to achieve. Most major college programs achieve this easily, but Iowa cannot seem to put together any semblance of a passing game.
After another abysmal passing season last year, where the Iowa offense averaged only 131.4 passing yards per game, the Hawkeyes completely revamped their quarterback room.
