Original Title: With Sam Houston’s unthinkable 367 yards of offense last night (nearly impossible for a team to get that many, right?), IOWA is now in LAST place among FBS in Yards Per Game with 249.2. IOWA is also LAST place in first downs with 13 and in completion percentage with 45.9%.


(Edit: 13 first downs per game, not 13 for the season. We’re not that bad.)

  • On YPG, next lowest FBS team is Eastern Michigan with 259.0 YPG. Next lowest P5 team is Utah with 297.6. (Iowa was also 2nd to last in 2022.)
  • On first downs, next lowest FBS team is Sam Houston with 14.5. Next lowest P5 team is Iowa State with 15.7. (Iowa was also 2nd to last in 2022.)
  • On completion percentage, next lowest FBS/P5 team is Pittsburgh with 49.6%.

Other notable stats from sports-reference.com.

  • Iowa is 2nd to last in plays per game with 55.5. Last is Kentucky with 54.2.
  • Iowa is 4th to last in completions with 11.2… ahead of only Army (8.8), Navy (6.6), and Air Force (2.8). Nebraska is next lowest P5 team with 11.7.

Unfortunately, sports-reference.com doesn’t include that many stats on that page (unless someone can direct me to more).

NCAA.com has many more stats, but they exclude 3 teams (Sam Houston and I’m guessing the other two recent FBS additions). With the caveat that the NCAA stats only include 130/133 FBS teams, here are more stats:

  • Iowa is 2nd to last in 3rd down efficiency at 26.9%. Last is Charlotte with 25.0%. Next lowest P5 team is Illinois at 31.0%.
  • Iowa is 2nd to last in passing efficiency at 97.42. Last is East Carolina with 89.21. Next lowest P5 is Oklahoma State with 107.54.
  • Iowa is tied for 4th for last in Red Zone Attempts with 17. Lowest is Kent State with 11.
  • Iowa is 6th to last in time of possession with 26 minutes. Lowest is Old Dominion with 23 minutes.
