(Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa - KIWA Staff Photo)Iowa City, Iowa (RI) — Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says the Hawkeyes aren’t good enough to spend time looking ahead.
The 16th-ranked Hawkeyes host Purdue on Saturday and likely need to win their final three games to remain in the conversation for a College Football Playoff berth.
Ferentz says the focus needs to remain on the Boilermakers rather than the playoff rankings.
Purdue enters the game at 3-6. Following a 34-29 loss to Maryland, head coach Barry Odom made a change on the defensive side of the ball by dismissing defensive coordinator Kevin Kane. Ferentz says it’s difficult to know exactly what changes Iowa may see from the Purdue defense.
Ferentz says improved ball security remains a priority. The Hawkeyes put the ball on the ground again last week at Northwestern.
