In the past when Iowa laid eggs, there was noticeable speed and talent, even if young. Iowa's strength in better years has been speed on the D line and ends, not necessarily in skill positions. That speed isn't there.
In the past, the Hawks have overcome coaching errors and I consider the late penalty and lack of understanding of onside kicks to be coaching errors. The UNI field goal fiasco's several years ago as cases in point. One can even understand things like this happening with a new staff. The lack of speed isn't going to change. I believe a major issue is the rhabdo fallout from recruiting issues (mom's have a big part of a player/student's decision, and changes in the training program that allowed marginal athletes to improve...but isn't there at the same intensity. It happens again and KF knows he's toast with liability and ethics issues.
