Iowa’s Passing Game is One of a Kind in the Worst Way Possible

The sport of college football has been taken over by the passing game. Week Six of the 2023 season, like nearly every week over the past decade plus of college football, featured several displays of efficient and electrifying aerial attacks. Between the late-game heroics of Oklahoma quarterback Dillon Gabriel in his win over Texas, the one-upmanship of Caleb Williams and Noah Fifita in the triple overtime thriller between USC and Arizona, the big play offenses displayed by LSU and Missouri in their see-saw of a game in Columbia, and the Drake Maye’s clinical disassembly of the Syracuse defense in North Carolina’s victory over the Orange, college football fans who tuned into Saturday’s games were served yet another reminder that it has never been easier to complete passes in the college football than in the game’s modern form.
