Iowa’s offense has made progress in three games but faces a big test in Saturday’s Big Ten opener at Minnesota. It’s early but after ranking at or near the bottom of the country in total offense the past few years Iowa is currently 53rd. Quarterback Cade McNamara.

The Hawkeyes have been much better this season on third down.

One part of the offense that the Hawkeyes hope to get going is tight end. Senior standout Luke Lachey only has nine catches in three games and has yet to score a touchdown.
