If you have watched any of Iowa’s 3 games so far this season, you know that the Hawkeyes struggle on offense. But this stat really puts it into perspective.

Saturday against Toledo, Ohio State had 763 yards of total offense. On the season, Iowa has just 653 yards of total offense.

 Of course, Ohio State does have one of the best offenses in the country, but Iowa’s offense is also just very bad. Simple as that.

Iowa had just 166 yards in its first game against South Dakota State, 150 yards in the loss to Iowa State and yesterday a season high of 337 yards of total offense.

Maybe Iowa will heat up as the season progresses, but right now its offense resembles that of a high school team.

The Hawkeyes will look to get their offense working next week against Rutgers.
