The Iowa Hawkeyes went into Week 4 ranked and are entering Week 5 not only out of the polls, but barely receiving any votes. The 31-0 loss to Penn State was a statement loss, which is something few teams want to have on their resume.
The loss showed Iowa’s incompetence on offense and had Iowa fans begging for something to change. The offense simply did nothing and it was a long night in Happy Valley for the Hawkeyes.
Iowa now looks ahead to a Week 5 matchup back at home inside Kinnick Stadium as they prepare to host the Michigan State Spartans. Iowa will look to get back on track and figure out what it is going to take on offense.
