Well, that was ugly.
What an awful, putrid, stinky performance tonight was. In a way, it matched the weather. It wasn’t enjoyable. Unless you were a Penn State fan, there was no enjoyment in this game or the weather.
The Iowa Hawkeyes laid an egg on prime-time television, led by the inept offense at the hands of offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz and a lack of creativity, adjustments, or changes to try and succeed. Despite the weather as some may say, it actually rained on Penn State as well, yet their offense produced.
Tonight was a culmination of poor playcalling and bad offensive line play leading to a defense being put on the field way too much, all of it on display for America to see. It has reached a point where changes must be made as discussed in the takeaways.
Here are the five main takeaways from Iowa’s loss to Penn State.
