IOWA CITY — The Iowa offense right now is a fill-in-the-blank word-play riddle thingie.
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz found himself with a Scrabble hand of “Is” and “Os” at different times during the Hawkeyes’ 9-6 loss to Iowa State last week. And so now Iowa is one of two teams in FBS who have yet to complete a successful point after touchdown, which is more commonly known as a “PAT,” in case those letters have slipped your mind.

The offensive stats are where you’d think they’d be, in the 100s nationally and the double digits in the Big Ten. It’s not coming together. That doesn’t mean it can’t, but right now it’s spelling something out of IOIQIOQ.

How is first-year offensive coordinator Greg Davis taking this?
