Iowa’s dreadful offense gave the Hawkeyes no chance against fourth ranked Michigan in a 27-14 loss in a game that was not even that close. The Hawkeyes had only 35 yards of rushing and their second touchdown came during garbage time with just a few seconds remaining. Despite that coach Kirk Ferentz says he saw progress.

Ferentz says as the receiver corps gets healthier the entire offense will get better.

Iowa visits an Illinois team that is coming off a lopsided win at Wisconsin.
