This sub has failed me. As an avid fan of sicko teams, this sub has been my main source of Iowa Hawkeye statistics. But now, I’ve been finding golden nuggets on TikTok rather than the brain trust of r/CFB.
Iowa is having an incredible start to the year with Mark “folks, we have ourselves a QB” Gronowski and the man, the myth, the legend: Coach Ferentz. Some highlights of the year:
- Gronowski is a new record holder. He is now the Big 10 QB with the fewest number of yards across the first two games (127) with at least 35 attempts. The previous record holder was Kain Colter with 177 yards.
- Iowa is ranked #135/136 in passing yards per game. I actually couldn’t verify this stat because the aggregate websites I could find didn’t go past #130, so Iowa wasn’t actually on the list. But, Iowa has 65.5 passing yards per game. For reference, the next lowest P4 team is Kentucky with 117 yards per game.
- Iowa now has 12 games since 2023 with fewer than 100 passing yards.
- since 2023, Iowa has played 6 ranked teams (at the time of playing them). They have scored 44 points against the ranked teams for an average of 7 1/3 points per game.
Iowa football is back. And please ignore the flair. I need to be very clear, I absolutely love Iowa football. I genuinely find a morbid curiosity watching Iowa finish with 8-9 wins despite not possessing a functioning offense. I look forward to seeing what the year holds for us sicko fans who enjoy watching sicko teams like Iowa.
