Kentucky scored a touchdown in the Citrus Bowl and now the question is whether 7 points is too much for Brian Ferentz to overcome

LB Jack Campbell now with 137 tackles, the most in a season since Josey Jewell in 2017. #Hawkeyes

After Spencer Petras answered his final question today, he said, “See you next year.”

If you’re the Iowa staff and you don’t see the problems with your offense…not sure what to say at this point. Can’t march this thing out the same way in ’22 and expect it to work. Need to make the tough decisions that give you a better chance to win on offense

Hats off to Tyler Linderbaum, hell of a career at Iowa and set a new high watermark for OC with his play in ’21. Still remember him swapping back over to OC from DT years ago in bowl prep & thinking ‘must be something to it’ and damned if there wasn’t, one of the all time greats

Look: It was a 10-win season where Iowa spent a week at No. 2. That’s not a failure. It’s the most frustrating 10-win season in program history, without question. But it’s not a failure.

Brian Ferentz is not a popular guy right now. Iowa’s offense is pathetic. pic.twitter.com/tH3qQHsa2e

4 minutes into 3Q, Ohio State and Utah have scored 9 TDs. That’s more than Iowa has scored all year.
