It was a familiar spot for Iowa offensive
coordinator Ken O'Keefe. The Hawkeyes were struggling to score, and
many fans were blaming him.
Then things just started to click.
The Hawkeyes (5-3, 2-2 Big Ten) hung 45 points on a beleaguered
Indiana, and last Saturday they pounded Wisconsin in a 38-16 win,
scoring the most points against the Badgers in 30 years. Behind a
legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate in Shonn Greene, a maturing
quarterback and a line that has made major strides, Iowa is
averaging 29.8 points a game this season - good for fourth in the
Big Ten.
O'Keefe says Greene has been the catalyst for the offense, and
he praised his leadership and physical style of play.
The Hawkeyes resume action next week at Illinois.
