Arizona game- Offensive analysis

QB- For the third straight game it was a tale of two halves for Ricky Stanzi. He started out hot on the first drive taking the Hawks on their opening drive for a touchdown. He ended the drive 2-5 with one of the completions being a great one handed catch by Marvin McNutt on a ball that was behind him. On the second drive he threw the pick six on an out pattern that seemed to be late and in the air forever. There was also a play when Stanzi missed a wide open Reisner, who turned to the outside and the ball was thrown to the inside. We don't know who made the wrong move, but it looks like Stanzi made the bad throw. Ricky redeemed himself in the second half with a great throw to Reisner over the middle for a long gain. In the second half he calmed down and made the throws that he had to make, converting several key third day throws. He finished 20-32 for 205 yards and the 1 INT. Overall grade B-

RB- Adam Robinson started at tailback and has gotten better each week. He runs the ball hard, catches the ball out of the backfield and blocks. He had a huge third down run on a draw play when Iowa was probably just setting up the punt. He is getting much better with running the zone play, which is a staple in the Iowa offense. Adam finished the game with 18 carries for 101 yards. Brandon Wegher also carried the ball on Saturday and like most true freshman he is having his growing pains. He does look very good in goaline situations leaping over the pile. Overall grade: B+

WR/TE- Colin Sandeman had his official coming out party last week, he got the start opposite Trey Stross. Iowa's depth at this position is something that we haven't seen for several years. 7 different players caught a pass from Stanzi, with Sandeman leading the way with 5 grabs. Paul Chaney saw his speed utilized with three different rushing attempts in the game. Reisner filled in admirably for Moeaki, but his blocking isn't even in the same realm. The problem that plagued the Hawks for several years and that seems to be corrected this season. Overall grade: B+

OL- For the first time this season Iowa had the same starting lineup from one week to the next and it showed. The line fought a losing battle all day due to the fact that Arizona was stacking the box and out-numbering the blockers. Despite that fact, they were still able to pave the way for near 150 yards rushing and Rick Stanzi had plenty of time to throw all day long. Iowa may not play a faster defense all season than they did against Arizona. Riley Reiff's progression has been remarkable and the gap between him and Bryan Bulaga is not as great as some people thought. Dace Richardson continues to look good coming off of missing the majority of the last two seasons. Eubanks had a poor game, getting beat a few times and also having a holding call. Overall grade: B+
