How will the Iowa offense perform without Matt VandeBerg?

Iowa's biggest issues are related to blocking scheme and mistakes. If there's one thing we know they will get fixed it's the blocking scheme. Once that's repaired, then run sets up the pass, like it should.

A "redirection" of the offense may be needed anyway..while not a good thing obviously, it's not as crippling as CJB, Jewell, King, or Johnson would be.

I feel like it gives the young WR's who had been talked up this spring a chance to prove themselves and get game experience

Love VandeBerg, but not dominating to the point where someone else can't step up and fill in. If he was a 4.3 40 guy and was our only threat, I would say he is irreplaceable. But,that's not the case.

The offense can't get much more underwhelming.

i think some problem lines up with beatheard looking at vandeberg as first option and waiting to long to progress down to other receivers. Now maybe other receivers will get better chance to step up and contribute

I'll take a wait and see approach. But, we're a run first team. If anything, coaching needs to make it a little more creative and I'd start with getting C.J. out of the pocket where he can throw or take off running (helps w/ run game too).

Too much emphasis on WR blocking for the run game and not enough on route running and most importantly....can he catch the ball.

The have more talent than the rest of the west. The teams they played last year are almost the same they will play this year. Saturday was just bad football, this team will be back. They know what is at stake.

They looked weak and Kirk went back to his old ways of trying to run out the clock instead of playing to win!!!!!!!!!!! Old Kirk was back and that's bad news!!!!!!!!!!!!

While NE and WI were beating ranked teams, Iowa lost to an FCS school. Too many questions/weaknesses right now to call them a favorite.
