It’s disappointing times for Iowa Hawkeyes fans at the midway point of the season. Iowa (3-3, 1-2 Big Ten) fell at Illinois (5-1, 2-1), snapping the Hawkeyes’ eight-game winning streak over the Illini in an embarrassing 9-6 loss.
Needless to say, the Hawkeye faithful on social media was less than pleased with the performance. At the midway point of the season, it’s already Iowa’s second game without an offensive touchdown and it’s the fourth game with one or fewer offensive touchdowns.
Really, that number might as well be five games with one or fewer offensive touchdowns, too, because the second touchdown against Michigan came with the game out of reach and the Wolverines seemingly content to let the clock wind.
At any rate, it was another offensive showing to forget about. Afterwards, Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz discussed the loss and what’s ahead for the Hawkeyes entering the bye week.
