I thought Iowa was going to win 8-9 games this season. I obviously don't see that happening any more. I do think 6-7 wins is likely though.
Iowa is a young team - the youngest under Ferentz. They had a lot of issues at RB that would have tremendous impact on most teams. The WRs are not doing as good as expected, or at least hoped to. I think JVB is getting blamed for too much stuff he is not responsible for.
The loss to CMU is one I would blame on the defense. I'll admit, I didn't see much of the game but giving up over 30 points, 9 in the last few minutes, against CMU is not good and is not the offenses fault. Over 30 offensively should beat CMU.
Iowa is young and they have and will make rookie mistakes. I think when they face Nebraska in the last game of the season that Iowa will look much better as they get more experience (since they don't have much now). Also, the Big Ten is not looking all that impressive either. We just need to be patient and let them rebuild.
