It looked to me like they started the Iowa State game with basically the same offensive scheme and play calling they were using against Albany when Gronowski left the previous game. It took them the better part of the first half to make adjustments to Iowa States defense.
Yes, they pulled the stats from the wrong year, 2023-24, which was 15.4 ppg. 2024-25 was 27.7 ppg, as you stated. That was a rank of 72nd out of 134 teams.
