The most revolting thing about the passing yardage stat is the teams we faced thus far: Albany, one of the weakest teams in the nation when our WRs were running free all over the field; and Iowa St., whose safeties got torched for multiple long TD passes by KState.
I was willing to give Lester's NFL passing attack a chance, but after 1 1/6th years and multiple QBs, I'm afraid I'm off the Lester bandwagon when it comes to the pass game. There are likely multiple reasons why very few college teams run that offense. Maybe it's too complicated and WR and QB students don't have the time to learn or get on the same page. Maybe the # of college QBs who can run that offense is very small. I don't know the reason. But I know one thing for sure: it ain't workin'. And there is no progress being shown in Year 2. Zero. None. That's not opinion, that's fact. So, it's time to move on and hire a Passing Coordinator who can work within the run schemes Lester wants to run. But this should not be allowed to continue into Year 3. To do so would be coaching malpractice, and in this day and age would not be put up with by any other university.

This. No one is happy with the pass game two games in. But I'm willing to let the season play out to see what the overall results are. With the understanding that many are not that patient.

Yeah let the season play out and get into the basketball season
Might as well enjoy watching our beloved Hawkeyes on the field, hoping for at least a 7-4 record
