Iowa hasn’t scored a point in their last 2 games. Not 1 point. But Kirk Ferentz thinks their philosophy is sound. It’s not, if you can’t even compete with anybody who is highly ranked. https://t.co/VL7PFtNAdl
Before the season, Hawkeyes offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz signed a new contract required Iowa to avg. at least 25 points to keep his job. They averaged 15.4 points per game. Scored zero three times, fewer than 14 six times. This was already going to be his last game.
This has been far from a perfect CFB season, but Iowa being shut out in Brian Ferentz' final two games would be a fitting conclusion.

Brian Ferentz, the offensive coordinator for the Iowa Hawkeyes, has coached his final game following a university decision unrelated to football. His tenure ended after the Citrus Bowl, marking the close of a season where Iowa's offense struggled significantly and the team won 10 games. Despite the challenges, Brian expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to coach the last five games and resented the attention on him during his final days. He also made an unexpected media appearance, his first since August 11, and graciously conducted his final interview as an Iowa coach. Brian's departure comes after a season where Iowa's offense was the worst in the nation in yards per play and failed to score a touchdown in the last 163 minutes and 22 seconds of his tenure. The team also did not score a point in their last two games. Before the season, Brian had signed a contract with a clause requiring the offense to average at least 25 points per game to maintain his position; however, the team averaged only 15.4 points per game. As Iowa moves forward, Kirk Ferentz has indicated that the new offensive coordinator will need to adapt to the team's defense-first principles.
