Iowa offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz says he was surprised and disappointed by the dismal performance by the Hawkeye offense in a 7-3 win over South Dakota State. Iowa managed only 166 yards of offense and one field goal while also turning the ball over twice.

Quarterback Spencer Petras has received much of the criticism after completing 11 of 25 passes in the opener and throwing an interception, but Ferentz points to himself as the one that needs to get things turned around.

Ferentz refused to say under what circumstance he would make the move to Alex Padilla at quarterback.
