Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz Previews Illinois

Michigan gashed the Iowa defense with the run and the challenge is much the same this week at Illinois.

The Illini are 4-1 and averaging nearly 195 yards on the ground.

That’s Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz, who says the Hawkeyes need to do a better job of shedding blocks.

Iowa is now next to last in the country in offense but Ferentz is convinced he saw progress against Michigan.

Ferentz says he saw potential in Illinois coach Bret Bielema when he hired him to be a Hawkeyes assistant.

Ferentz says mid season coaching moves are just a sign of the times. Wisconsin became the second school in the Big Ten west to fire its coach during the season by letting Paul Chryst go on Sunday.

Ferentz says he will never take for granted the support he has gotten during his time at Iowa.
