Ferentz’s Run Game Reality Check | Iowa Hawkeyes Football News

Iowa’s run game stumbled against Iowa State, dropping from nearly 300 yards to just 93 — but head coach Kirk Ferentz blamed the Cyclones’ defense, not his offense, and pointed to Hank Brown’s strong passing as a key to victory. With conference play looming, Ferentz stressed adaptability and respect for every opponent, even FCS teams like Northern Iowa — recalling a close 2009 loss and praising their coach. Injuries are mounting: DJ Vonnahme out, Kamari Moulton day-to-day, while Tyler Brown and L.J. Phillips are rehabbing but could return soon. Ferentz’s message? Stay flexible, stay humble, and keep winning in multiple ways. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
