The Hawkeyes are inexperienced in the wide receiver department. Much was expected from players like Jay Scheel and Jerminic Smith, but they have so far have struggled to get separation.
The inexperience and failure to get separation was evident even when top receiver Matt VandeBerg played before being injured.
Greg Davis can only do so much. They can practice until they are blue in the face, but it's up to the players to execute.

Actually Ferentz is responsible for hiring Davis and not recruiting Division 1 wideouts.

ReplyWhy can other teams adjust the offense and replace wide receivers at a much more efficient rate than iowa.
ReplyI am typically not into the blame game. GD is responsible for the effectiveness of the offense...he is the coordinator. After several years of relatively weak offensive production, it is time for a change, regardless of where you want to place the blame. Don't blame, fix.
ReplyThe blame isn't OC Davis, the blame is Kirk Ferentz. We all blamed O'Keefe too, but the single common denominator of the consistent terrible offense is the HC.
ReplyNot only do i blame coach Davis but WR coach Kennedy. They both need to put more wrinkles and coach better techniques for WR's to get open. The main thing I feel would be do better recruiting. The WR position for the hawks has been terrible over the years. Get better talent and coach them better.
ReplyWe're two thirds of the way through the season. Inexperienced players is no longer a viable excuse. And, Iowa's offense hasn't been explosive in years regardless of personnel. In the end however, the lack of creativity, and, ultimately success falls on Ferentz.
ReplyIt seems like with this offense, our WR's do nothing more than run wind sprints during games. Can't blame them for that!
