No. 25 Iowa eager to see offensive improvement in opener against FCS foe Illinois State
No. 25 Iowa will unveil what it hopes will be an improved offense under first-year coordinator Tim Lester when it opens the season against Illinois State in Iowa City on Saturday. Based on his experience from knocking around the Big Ten as a defensive assistant in the 1990s and 2000s, Redbirds coach Brock Spack predicted even if the Hawkeyes’ offense is improved, there won’t necessarily be anything new about it. Spack quoted the tough-guy title character in the 1971 movie “Billy Jack” to make his point. “Billy Jack says, ‘You know what, I’m going to put my right foot on the side of your face, and there’s nothing you can do about it,’” Spack said. “That’s Iowa football. They’re going to try to run that outside sprint and inside zone and they’re going to say, ‘There’s nothing you can do about it.’”
