Iowa quarterback Mark Gronowski feels the Hawkeye offense is taking momentum into Friday night’s Big Ten opener at Rutgers. Gronowski passed for two touchdowns, ran for another and Hawkeyes piled up 435 yards of offense in a lopsided win over UMass.

Gronowski says with the start of Big Ten play the Hawkeye offense will need to perform at a consistent level.

Redshirt freshman receiver K.J. Parker got his most extended playing time against UMass and hauled in his first touchdown pass.

While Parker has shown the ability to get open he has dropped several passes this season and is hoping to clean that up.
