Whether it is run blocking, pass blocking, or avoiding drive-killing penalties, the offensive line has been deficient. Iowa’s front five is somehow playing even worse than it did in 2021. Halfway through Iowa’s season, it is clear that any preseason confidence in the offensive line’s development was misplaced. “Iowa’s young linemen generated plenty of reason for optimism heading into next season.” “The interior needs a reboot with all the lost parts, but Mason Richman is a good young tackle, there’s experience at right tackle, and it’s Iowa. “Offensive-line play will soon be a strength again for Iowa football.”
The kids’ ability to come out every day with an energy to them, just the way they’re working and the physicality they’re playing with right now.” I saw the growth that we made last year.” “We go against defensive-linemen who are freak shows and even with that, we’re able to handle our business and do the right thing and be in the right place.” “I know we lost some older guys, but we’re onto better and newer things.” “We’re looking a lot better than last year.” Last year’s offensive line was a weakness despite the presence of Rimington Trophy winner Tyler Linderbaum, but there was genuine optimism surrounding the unit coming into the season which was stoked by quotes from players, Even during past seasons in which the offense has struggled, the Hawkeyes can typically count on excellent play up front. However, one area in which Iowa’s offense has traditionally excelled is in producing quality offensive linemen. Iowa’s offense has been a disaster this season, even by the extremely low bar set by previous Hawkeye teams.
