Iowa facing tougher Big Ten with improved offense in 2024
Iowa's defense led the nation in yards allowed per play for a second straight year but the offense ranked last among Power Five teams with 3.94 yards per play. With the Big Ten ditching divisions and adding four strong programs, Iowa must improve to compete against Washington, Ohio State, UCLA and others on its 2024 schedule. Coach Ferentz said improvement starts in about two weeks.
