The Hawkeyes had raced out to a 6-0 start on the season and were ranked as high as No. 2 in the country coming into Saturday’s clash at home with Purdue. Fresh off of an upset of No. 4 Penn State, it looked like the Hawkeyes were for real. But that did not last for long. Iowa fell to Purdue on Saturday, 24-7, suffering its first loss of the season. What looked like a season with so much promise and excitement quickly lost all that energy, as quarterback Spencer Petras threw four interceptions on the day and running back Tyler Goodson was limited to just 68 yards on 12 carries. Iowa still can make it to the Big Ten Championship and still have a special season if it recovers in a big way, but the margin for error has now shrunk. And the Hawkeyes know that they let a huge opportunity slip away. After the game, Ferentz was asked about a variety of topics in the game, ranging from the play of Petras and what he tells his quarterback moving forward, to how he uses this game as motivation for his team. Here is everything that Ferentz said in his postgame press conference after his team’s first loss of 2021: “Just a really disappointing and difficult day for our football team. Certainly, our fans too. They were great, appreciate them being there, you know, every week. Basically, just program-wise, our goal is to try to improve and come out victorious in the football game. So, you know, certainly didn't do that. And, you know, we’ve got a week here to figure out some answers and see what we can do to improve. That’s what the next couple of weeks will be for. Purdue played a great football game, credit to them. They outdid us in every category. And certainly, you know, David Bell’s outstanding. We knew that coming in. He’s a tremendous football player; a lot of respect for him. He and number five both played really — think impacted the game an awful lot. And, you know, we knew it was gonna be a tough contest. “Bottom line is we didn’t get it done. You know, they move the ball well. The last time out against Minnesota looked very similar to that. We had a hard time getting off the field and then we couldn’t keep pace offensively either. So, our credit to our opponents. They did a great job. And, you know, for our football team, it’s first time we’ve had to deal with a loss in a while. So, we’ll get a lesson in that. The biggest thing is right now which is to move forward. That’s what I shared with the team a few minutes ago. We got some time to stew on it and sit on it. There's nothing you can do about that. We got to move on and see we can do about moving forward and taking on the second half of this schedule, five-game schedule.”
