It may have only been one game against an FCS opponent, but the Iowa rushing attack was as advertised in a dominating 34-7 win against Albany.
After the offense struggled early in the game and left the Hawkeyes in a 7-3 hole after the first quarter, Iowa completely abandoned the passing game and leaned on the rushing attack.
Starting running back Kamari Moulton exited the game after the first drive with an apparent shoulder injury and did not return. The Hawkeyes turned to a combination of Terrell Washington Jr., Jaziun Patterson, and Xavier Williams in an attempt to spark their offense.
