Iowa Football Offense Better or Worse in 2024?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июн 2024
- Iowa football was the ultimate over-achiever last season. With an anemic offense and great defensive and special teams play, Kirk Ferentz and his Hawkeyes earned 10 wins and a trip to the Big Ten Championship. They amazed the college football world in 2023.
MORE OF THE SAME?
What about the Iowa Hawkeyes offense in 2024? Will their historically bad offense be better or worse than 2023? To be honest it looks like rinse and repeat again this season even though they have a new offensive coordinator in Tim Lester.
HAWKEYES HOPE?
However there is some hope because it looks like the defense will be really, really good despite the loss of Cooper DeJean to the NFL. That might be good enough to get some college football wins in the Big Ten.

The sum of the parts of Iowa's Offense is greater than what Brian Ferentz could realize as OC. The lack of production has more to do with the horrifically inept OC than it does the talent of the individual players. Judging any of those guys by the results of the last two years does those guys a great disservice.
Tim Lester is a much better OC than Brian Ferentz was. Tim can definitely improve the WR position and develop young QBs.
No speed at WR's no passing game-average running game will be bad
@@thomasorzack5795 no speed at WR? How do you know that? Again, you are judging based on the work of an inept OC
Luke Lachey Iowa’s tight end was injured last year and will be a dominant force this year. He’s probably actually their best offensive player.
I think it's almost impossible for iowas offense to not be at least "better" than last year. Average is probably the celing, but realistically, it's going to be below average. That's still an improvement from nauseating.
KF said last year wr’s aren’t really a big part of the offense. Which means passing isn’t really a big part. KF will hold Iowas offense back and that’s why we get 5 loses this year. KF is the laziest coach in the nation when it comes to recruiting and portal transfers.
The state of Iowa has allowed Kirk to be this way though. Fans expectations aren’t big ten championship or natty. Winning 10 games against below average teams is Kirk’s bread and butter and he thinks Iowa fans should be happy with it.
Silly comment 😂
You’re the laziest commentator because you just say the same thing over and over again, Joe
@@BearsEatBeetz Not really. Actually pretty accurate.
I sure hope we see some 4 wide sets with Brown, Anderson, Wetjen, and Brevin Doll. I feel that lineup could really do some things and open up the field.
Iowa had no qb last year and all their top receivers and tight ends were injured too. 🤔
If all these players are healthy now, I cant see how they wouldn’t improve at least…. Some.
Their starting qb played in 5 games and only had like a 50% completing. That and the fact he can't stay healthy.
@@mikef3896 he was injured and couldnt move in the pocket…. Then furthered the injury by scrambling. It was clear that he wasnt near 100% and shouldn’t of been playing.
Iowa basically lost all of their top players in the first five or six games on offense.
Im not sure how the offense couldnt be improved. Having said that I would of never thought they would of lost all their top players.
If your saying Cade is a 50% passer, his body of work says otherwise.
@BearsEatBeetz he's still injured and still can't move. Guy cant stay healthy. I don't see their offense be mutch different. They have decent rbs, but nothing special at wr. Lost their punter and don't have cooper to score all their points on defense.
Shouldn’t the most racist man in Iowa have had backups that he recruited that were ready to play? Apparently lazy KF can’t recruit very well.
@@mikef3896 you must be an expert… my bad. 😆
The issue with iowas O wasnt talent (outside of hill) the issue was an oc that couldnt call a game and utilize his players properly. If lester is slightly better than bf in that regard iowa will be 10+ wins
9-3 or 8-4 O will hold back team
Its fair to question this offense this year. They need to show up and prove it. That being said, they were ranked 134th in the FBS, absolute worst. They had a man in charge of the offense that never should have been put in that role. He is gone. They had a guy behind the center for most of the season that never should have been there. He is gone. With those two departures alone, I dont know how they could be as bad as they were last year. On top of that they had so many injuries last season, hopefully that wont be a problem this time around. I think the safe bet is that they will be better because let's be honest, there is no where to go but up.
As for Tim Lester? It's Iowa. Yes its a project rebuild on the offensive side but it's Iowa. Coaches know that you will be given time and if he shows steady growth year after year then he will be given the time he needs. So after that, he will have taken the absolute worst offense in the country and built it into whatever he is able to build it into. That will be one hell of a solid mark on his resume.
As for Cade? Got very little faith that he will hold up all season. The bright side is that they seem to now have a reasonable back up option with the transfer from Northwestern. Others in the QB room may actually get looked at as well unlike last season when the guy only got thrown in during the fourth quarter of the Bowl Game. They lost a QB to the portal because they didnt give him a shot when Deacon Hill was proving himself to be a turnover machine. Brian Ferentz was a terrible OC.
I'm sorry, I get that the common theory is to look at Iowa and say 7 wins. That defense is going to be dominant once again. The offense will be better, its pretty much impossible for it not to be unless it becomes riddled with injuries again. Their schedule is VERY friendly. This is quite possibly another 10 win season with the potential to be in the first ever 12 team College Football Playoff. It looks to be another season where Iowa football continuously makes a lot of money for folks betting on them. For whatever reason, the oddsmakers are just perplexed by this team.
Immaculate, you are absolutely correct. This team has some good players. WR Brown has a lot of good skills, but he struggled in the old system. TE position is elite as ever. RB Williams is a solid RB 1 with other great RBs in rotation.
There is a reason why Sam LaPorta is performing better in the NFL then what he could do at Iowa. I think Tim Lester can really help with QB and WR development. 9-11 wins is absolutely possible given the schedule. I don't think Hawkeyes could beat the Buckeyes in the best case scenario.
@@tylerbrown2700 Yeah that OSU game is probably going to be ugly. There are a couple others or so that could go either way but I give Iowa the edge in them as I do believe they generally have the home field advantage in most of those.
I thought you were going to announce that Chryst was going to Illinois as an analyst or Northwestern as an analyst. Close to Wisconsin and both head coaches with Wisconsin ties.
I think you have to consider that the offense doesn’t need to become amazing. Heck it doesn’t need to be average. If the defense can keep it up like last season, the offense only needs about 20 points to win most games. Heck, Michigan only scored 26 in the championship. If they can go from 130th in the country to only 100th in the country for offense, there’s a chance for some good stuff.
That’s exactly what I said about Iowa last year and it worked out. I’m not as sure about this year.
It seems like it pretty much comes down to can Mcnamerra stay healthy.
lester's system isn't great for statue quarterbacks, the insurance policy we have with sullivan is fantastic and may actually turn out to be a better fit.
@@alexfromia4511maybe a two quarterback system depending on the situation?

(Weighted, based on a combo, of: each individual team's improvement, year-over-year; experience; and then projected overall '24 team success [not based on the individual NFL upside of each qb]).
Do all these "Analysts" have any idea how bad the combo of BF and Deacon Hill was to the offense? Literally, the worst combo of bad you can have is the two leaders of the offense. Not arguing the rest of their offense was explosive, but if you replace those two people, you're back in the "servicable" category immediately.
I mean I think calling Lachey a 'Okay' TE is a tough look. A lot of outlets don't even have him in the top 15 which is ridiculous. Think a lot of NFL scouts feel the same with Iowa's success at the position in the league?
Well the offense can't be much worse. Would like to see Sullivan start. I think Addison Ostrenga is the best offensive player on whole team.
How could it possibly be any worse?
if the QB isn't great at passing, and the recievers ain't that great.... develop a 4 yards in a cloud of dust running game. put 2, 3 or even 4 running backs in the back field and drive the linebackers nutz trying to figure out which one is going to block them, and who has the ball. passing would be screens and quick outs with a 5-7 yard gain goal. imagine a QB draw with 4 backs blocking in front of him....would be hard to stop.
Better
8 wins if they beat ISU - Iowa has a favorable schedule
I don’t expect much for Lester’s 1st year. There’s going to be some growing pains
Can’t be any worse then last year
Chryst was nosediving the Badger program. If he was still our coach, we would win only 3 games....maybe 4 with a lot of luck. So I can't see why any major program would hire him.
Chryst was a pretty good coach when he was at Pitt. Perhaps he should be looking a non-P4 school???
@@DuckRon626 yes, that's exactly my thought. Something on the level of Marshall.
All speculation at this point. New OC, several returning players who were injured, more than likely a new scheme.
As a journalist, once someone makes a definitive prediction they bacl themselves into a corner.
If that prediction ends up being inaccurate, the journalists credibility takes a hit.
It is then hard for the masses to take what that specific journalist has to say seriously.
How will 2025 go? Who knows. Thats why we play football games to figure it out.
Why not leave it at that?
Because this is a fact and opinion podcast.
DEAD WRONG! Kaleb Johnson has proven to be Explosive despite the "average" O Line so I disagree with no explosiveness on the Offense!
I hope you are right.
11 wins if we're being honest ;)
Pertaining to Iowas eecord you are u
I don’t think the offense is going to be any better. They honestly didn’t bring in any talent on offense. I still think they could win up to 10 games though because even though the big ten west is dead, they did get a pretty big-10 west like schedule and only have to play one good team like most years. History could repeat itself again where Iowa makes the big ten championship only to get their cheeks clapped by Oregon or Ohio State.
It takes like ten seconds of due diligence… to realize you have no idea what is happening at Iowa bub…
@@BearsEatBeetz he’s just not a racist KF loving fella like you Joe.
Iowa? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Iowa will have a worse offense this year.
How?
I'm going out on a limb here and guessing that you're a PSU fan, who is still salty about losing to one of the worst offenses to ever hit a football field.
Iowa may not win as many games, but there is no way the Iowa offense is worse or even the same. It has to be better. Maybe not a lot, but how could it be worse.
Not as bad as Penn states trash program! We are “in court again”
Worse?? It can’t be worse, no way that’s possible.
