So, Hogan comes in and throws to the backs. Why didnt Wade?

Makes no sense. Wouldn't throws to the backs have loosened up Iowa's defense a little? Or to the TEs?
 
And throwing to WRs all day long. Iowa threw a bunch to their TEs, but not UK. And, when was the last time we ran a TE screen that Iowa gashed us with a few times? Supposedly, we have all this talent in the TE room and couldn't figure a way to get them the ball? Really don't understand the offensive game plan today. Totally opposite of what I'd posted in a thread a week ago.

And Barion Brown better improve next year. Runs lazy routes, doesn't make the 50/50 catches but rarely, too many drops, etc. Could be an AA but needs to learn that WR play is more than straight ahead speed.

Kattus being out hurt. He was a a great FY. Oline was not strong enough to support a FY QB. Brown needed a big game and didnt have it. Iowa punt coverage and field position managememt was also huge for Iowa. UK did fine.

But we've been told that we had 5 future NFL TEs on the roster. Cummings was MIA all season. Dingle had some good games but only one late target today. Leading up to this game, I started a thread regarding what UKs OC should do against Iowa. It wasn't throw sideways to WRs all game long, that's for sure. There have been multiple games this year that the offensive game plan made no sense to me. This is just one more, I guess.
 
We have no size at wr. Brown is a toothpick out there. They have emphasized speed at wr now all we have are small slot receivers that can’t block or make tough catches.

We were down to like the 4th string TE
 
Because at that point, Iowa was more than willing to give up those short dumps.

Our entire offense was derailed mostly because we couldn't connect on deep shots or get the pis. One bad over throw and a bad decision (coaching and QB) sealed our fate.

Really aggravates me seeing the absurd targets to brown. He doesn't go 100% and on screens he just loses yards always going for the home run. Those opportunities absolutely should've been spread around
 
Hogan can flip his body quickly and different arm angle throws. Wade can’t get his shoulders back around once he turns them so it’s tough for him to do that unless it’s just a total scheduled play.
