The Iowa offenses are plodding, slow developing, defense protecting, slow the game down with fewer plays run than most teams. Yes, I agree with you that we got away from Davis and throw ridiculous long passes with no chance of success. But overall that’s what I meant.Curious what you mean by Iowa style football? Ironically, we’ve moved away significantly from the offense that UK used with Gran - physical play with a determination to establish the run and grind opponents down. We’ve morphed into a pass heavy offense that takes way too many shots 20+ yards downfield while one of the best RB in the nation languishes on the bench.
While the defense took a big step back this year the offense has been the problem more often than not. And it’s becoming more apparent that it’s because we’re trying to make something work that’s not there.
