This week brings a tough road NCAA Football Betting matchup for the Iowa Hawkeyes at the Wisconsin Badgers. The Ferentz Family Follies continue with the Iowa Hawkeyes. The worst offensive coordinator in college football continues to embarrass the program. Most important of all, Brian Ferentz is not helping the team. Concurrently, fans and gamblers have had more than enough. But the real culprit is Brian’s father, Kirk. It is true Kirk’s been an effective coach. But nobody else in the game would hire his son as an OC. And things may end ugly for all if the ineptitude continues.
