Here's what Iowa OC Brian Ferentz said during bye week presser
Iowa dropped nine spots down to No. 11 after Purdue snapped its 12-game winning streak. The Hawkeyes will look to get back in the win column when they travel to face Wisconsin in Week 9 after its bye week.
Iowa offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz addressed the media during the bye week after the Hawkeyes scored only 7 points vs. Purdue.
