What did we just see, Hawkeye football fans?

Last week I wrote a piece about the Iowa offense under Tim Lester. The Hawkeyes have been very successful under a possible Hall of Fame coach Church FerentzKirk will rightfully receive a statue in Iowa City someday, along with Hayden Fry, Dan GabelAnd Caitlin Clark. Kirk has built his program on defense and special teams. The offenses under Know OKeefe, Greg DavisAnd Brian Ferentz were disappointing. [I have longed for the days of a Ken OKeefe offense for years, but I digress.] After the first half against State of IllinoisI guess it's safe to say that Hawk Nation was a little nervous. Even though Kirk watched the game from home, Coach Ferentz is the chef. Nothing gets made in his kitchen without Kirk checking the ingredients a time or two (or ten). In my opinion, after a shaky first half, Cade McNamara got hit a few times, moved a bit and settled down.

It is common knowledge that athletes coming back from injury need some live action to feel comfortable. The Hawks and Cade/Lester had to deal with that, along with the years that Kirk Ferentz was extremely successful while being ultra-conservative on offense. The Hawks won a lot of games with Coach Ferentz. I love Coach Ferentz. I also think he has coached the confidence, and dare I say the bravado, out of a lot of our offensive players. If you look at our defensive players, they play with confidence, energy and attitude. Our offensive players play with the hope that they won't make mistakes. That is not a recipe for success. After the first half, the Hawkeyes Caleb Johnson gliding down the field, he looked like he was chilling on the beach as Illinois State defenders took one bad angle after another.

Cade McNamara threw forward passes (I had to google this new technique for advancing the ball) off his back foot to 79 Reece Vanderzee for six points. As far as I can tell, Vander Zee is a combination of Steve Largent, Jerry Rice and Randy Moss.

It may have been a bad route or a botched move, but in that moment Cade and RVZ were playing Backyard Football and it was fucking glorious!! In one half of football, the rest of the college football world was taking notice of the Hawkeyes. Can the Hawkeyes repeat this week after week? Who knows, but there was movement, motion, and what seemed like an overall plan. I'll take it.

Below are the offensive stats of last year's Iowa team and this year's team after one game. I will update the data each week.

Those numbers are enticing. It was a game of two halves. Iowa didn't run or pass very well in the first half. In the second half, the guys on offense had fun! It will be interesting to see how the Hawks compare Iowa State. Iowa State is not the Iowa State of my youth when Hayden won big. Matt Campbell can recruit and coach. Losing to the Cyclones doesn't have the same stigma that it did back then. If our guys can get out of the gate a little faster offensively, I think our chances are good. Come back next week and we'll take another look at Iowa's offensive numbers. Sure, going 1-0 last week was more important than 492 total yards. I'm no expert, but gaining almost 500 yards helped our team get the dub. It will be refreshing when, before a game, we don't have to rely on a defensive score or a special teams touchdown to win anymore or less. As always, it's great to be a Hawkeye! Go Hawks!
