Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz has never made a staff change during a season and he is not starting now.
The Hawkeye offense has gone from bad to worse to comical in a 54-10 loss at second ranked Ohio State. Iowa committed six turnovers against the Buckeyes and the lone touchdown was a scoop and score by defensive end Joe Evans that gave the Hawks an early 7-3 advantage. It was the third time this season the defense outscored the offense and afterwards Ferentz was questioned why his son, Brian, remains the offensive coordinator.
Ferentz was willing to change quarterbacks. Alex Padilla relieved Spencer Petras in the second half and fumbled on his first play and threw an interception on his third play inside the Iowa 20.
Iowa is 3-4 and Ferentz remains convinced the offense will get better.
Iowa hosts Northwestern Saturday.
