It’s no secret that Iowa’s offense is horribad. It currently ranks near the bottom of approximately 130 Division I-A offenses, with yards and points seemingly being a premium for the Hawkeyes. I mean, their offensive coordinator, Brian Ferentz, has a stipulation in his contract to reach 25 points per game (PPG) in 2023. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a PPG clause in an OC’s contract, which is saying something.
Obviously, scoring 0 points against Penn State is going to make hitting that 25 PPG milestone that much harder.
But that got me thinking - Iowa was on track for that 25 PPG milestone before playing PSU.
