Iowa receiver Nico Ragaini says the Hawkeye offense is motivated by last year’s failures. Iowa ranked next to last in total offense and averaged only 17 points during an 8-5 season.

Ragaini says after transferring from Michigan, quarterback Cade McNamara is hungry to prove he can be a difference maker for the offense.

Ragaini says he has not been studying last season to find out what went wrong.

Big Ten Media Days begin Wednesday in Indianapolis. Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz will be at the podium Wednesday morning.
