Charlie Jones on Why He Left for Purdue

[Garandx]

Apparently we had the WRs we needed to have a good passing game.

Shocking surprise to no ine that it is infact not the WR that are the problem

Jones is Purdue's #1 and Purdue has a QB so it's no surprise he's putting up stats. O'Connell also pretty much only throws to Jones which helps. We didn't utilize him well enough but Jones' production tonight is not entirely an indictment of Iowa's offense.

The dude had an ungodly amount of targets. It felt like a HS game. He was targeted at least once on pretty much every possession they had. Iowa goes possessions without even targeting a WR period in the course of games.

I think it is precisely an indictment of Iowa's offense.
Jones had 12 catches for 153 last night. He had 21 catches for 323 in 14 games last year.
We dont have an offense which utilizes offensive talent, even when we have such talent.

I thought guys like Tevaun Smith and Brandon Smith were criminally under used... (Not to mention Noah Fant for a stretch of his career)
