The Iowa football team lost its first Cy-Hawk game since 2014 on Saturday afternoon at Kinnick Stadium.
In the 10-7 defeat to the Cyclones, the Hawkeyes scored their lone touchdown on their opening drive — going 16 yards after a partially blocked ISU punt.
After a less-than-stellar showing of just 166 yards in its 7-3 season-opening win over South Dakota State, Iowa’s offense was held to 150 yards in Week 2.
Following another poor offensive showing, fans and media from Iowa City to Ames took to Twitter to voice their opinions during and after the yearly rivalry game.
If Iowa had a D+ offense, imagine the possibilities.

Blocked punts but they need to be returned for a score because this offense won’t.

Iowa now has 316 yards of total offense in TWO games. If 316 yards was their per-game average, it would still put them 105th in the nation in total offense.

Iowa offense doesn’t convert on third down but then I get to watch Tory Taylor punt pic.twitter.com/W2nuriVkxI

In the five seasons since Brian Ferentz was hired, Iowa's best finish nationally in total offense is 88th. The Hawkeyes have finished outside the top 100 in three out of five of those years. I think this is called “privilege”.

I wish I had as much faith in anything as Kirk Ferentz does in Spencer petras

This offense is a thief of joy. It is devoid of hope and sucks the love of football from my bones. Our Defense and Special Teams deserve better. Our Offense did not deserve even the opportunity to win. I want to be positive and supportive, but it's very, very difficult…

This is the worst game of football I've seen since last week. #iowafootball

Through 2 games Iowa is averaging 158 yards of offense per game. I believe they have now dropped to dead last in all of FBS football for ypg, 124th. Bowling Green and Middle Tennessee State passed them today to put the Hawks dead last.

Phil Parker and Levar Woods are the musicians on the Titanic that is Iowa football
