IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Iowas offense has typically revolved around the idea that a strong line and interchangeable running backs will open up the passing game.The Hawkeyes didnt expect its receivers to be so ineffective that their entire offensive identity would be compromised.Iowa (5-3, 3-2 Big Ten) heads into November with a serious deficiency at wide receiver. Only one of them, senior Riley McCarron, is among active Hawkeyes in the top four on the team in catches -- and Iowa is just 107th nationally in passing offense (180.3 yards per game).That statistic is even more glaring given that the Hawkeyes have a senior quarterback, C.J. Beathard, who many pegged as among the Big Tens best entering this season.Its just a matter of us doing the right things and making the plays that are there to be made. You put those both together and you have a chance to win games, Beathard said.Iowa, which is coming off its bye week, plays at No. 20 Penn State (6-2, 4-1) on Saturday. The Hawkeyes might take on a different look this weekend, as back Akrum Wadley said Tuesday that he occasionally worked as a slot receiver in practice during the bye.Were fooling around with different looks and what have you, but nothing major, coach Kirk Ferentz said.The Hawkeyes knew that their passing game would suffer following the season-ending injury to star Matt VandeBerg four games into the season. But Iowa also hoped, like every program in the country does, that losing a key veteran would give an inexperienced underclassman a chance to shine.That hasnt happened yet. The Hawkeyes young wide receivers have struggled to get open -- and theyre too often dropping the ball when they do.Jerminic Smith has just 14 catches in seven starts. Fellow sophomore Jay Scheel has only five catches in eight games -- and he and Smith combined for just 12 yards in a 17-9 loss to No. 8 Wisconsin on Oct. 22.McCarron has caught 30 passes, but hes also averaging just over 11 yards per reception.Those pedestrian numbers prompted Iowa to elevate freshman Devonte Young, who has yet to catch a college pass, into its rotation.The Hawkeye do have other ways to score. Wadley and fellow back LeShun Daniels Jr. have combined for 1,285 rushing yards with 14 touchdowns. Wadley also has 18 catches, and it sounds like Iowa could experiment with Daniels as the lead back and Wadley out wide.You can put him anywhere on the field, and he has the ability to make plays with his feet, Beathard said of Wadley. Hes a fast guy ... hes got good hands as well.The healthy return of tight end George Kittle (sprained right foot) should also help Iowa expand its play book.But the final month of the regular season for Iowa includes three top 20 opponents in the Nittany Lions, No. 2 Michigan and No. 9 Nebraska. The Hawkeyes will likely be underdogs in all three of those matchups -- and a 6-6 finish could be on the table if their receivers cant start to stretch defenses and allow Iowa return to the kind of attack that has made it successful in the past.Weve got a lot of young guys obviously, McCarron said. Anytime you can get reps with C.J., youll start growing ... (but) its not going to happen overnight.---More college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org NHL Jerseys Outlet Store .

Umar Akmal hit 48 from 37 balls, helping Pakistan cruise home, condemning defending champions Sri Lanka to a third defeat in four matches in their last Twenty20 International before this months ICC T20 World Cup in India.Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi won the toss and elected to field but an unbeaten opening partnership of 110 between Dinesh Chandimal (58) and Tillakratne Dilshan (75 not out) saw Sri Lanka put themselves in a commanding position with six overs remaining. Dinesh Chandimal (r) and Dilshan shared an opening-wicket stand of 110 Chandimal was caught by Sharjeel Khan of the bowling off Wahab Riaz in the 15th over, before Shehan Jayasuriya (four) was dismissed with the last ball of the 16th, sparking the fall of three wickets in the space of 10 balls.Left-arm fast bowler Mohammad Irfan (2-18) was the pick of the Pakistan bowlers, dismissing both Chamara Kapugedera (two) and Dasun Shanaka (0) cheaply as Sri Lanka limped to 150/4 from their allocated 20 overs.ddddddddddddMohammad Hafeez got Pakistans reply off to a flier as he crunched 14 runs off 11 balls, including three fours, before being caught and bowled by Jayasuriya. Mohammad Irfan took 2-18 from his four overs But Sarfraz Ahmed (38) came in and steadied the ship, sharing a 35-run partnership with Sharjeel Khan, who struck four consecutive boundaries in the fifth over before mistiming a pull from a Dilshan delivery, allowing Kapugedera to take an easy catch at long on.Pakistan were well on their way to victory when Khan (31) was trapped lbw by Milinda Siriwardana with Akmal and Shoaib Malik (13 not out) sharing a 56-run stand before the former was caught by Thisara Perera with the scores level.Iftikhar Ahmed came in but did not face a ball as Malik scored the winning run with the second ball of the final over to seal victory for Pakistan.Sky Sports is the only place you can watch all 35 games of the 2016 ICC World Twenty20, starting with Zimbabwe v UAE on Tuesday, March 8, at 9am on Sky Sports 2 HD.
