What happened to this kind of play? Amazing special teams and the defense was on fire. Will the Hawks get another bowl win of this caliber under Kirk Ferentz?

The greatest Iowa game I have ever attended. MSU and UM in 1985 come extremely close, but walkoff TD > walkoff FG IMHO.

Huge, guaranteed contracts with zero accountability, and a jellyfish AD who reports the football coach instead of the other way around are what happened.

Brian the Brain should take a lesson from the 8:30 mark in that video. Pass the goddamn ball once in a while.
After the injury fiasco every team in the country knew the Hawks were airing it out (didn’t even try to hide it), and it still can work with the right QB, which we have. That season is proof that you don’t need a bunch of All American WRs and TEs.

I was at the game also with my wife and three kids. We were sitting behind the goal post opposite of the end zone where the winning catch was made.
We had a great time being at the game and also visiting the amusement park the day before.

It never gets old watching the end of this game.
Yeah winning and losing skews our memories. Tate won a lot and the season ending the way it did... I'm afraid the year Stanley had will be half forgotten about because the teams season was so up and down. For a team to beat OSU (like they did) and lose to Purdue makes no sense... Stanley had a ridiculously good year yet that said his completion % has room for improvement and missing on some of the open bombs he had were noticeable.

People are forgetting how truly great the 2004 defense was. Our offense really wasn't that good that year, but Tate was certainly dynamic and dangerous with his arm and his scrambling ability.

Just looking at that stat, tells me Iowa had a salty defense that year. But, also shows how KF can afford to let his "college players" play a little more loose and not be afraid of mistakes.

Ed HInkel was a very good receiver for Iowa. Need another like his type.

He did announce that he was leaving before the bowl game, but I like your line of thinking.

Watch the game, that defensive line was incredible. Gives me hope that maybe we can have some similar dominance in the trenches next year. Just watch LSU’s first possession to see what I’m talking about.

Yes he did and, knowing that, he threw the DB who blew the coverage under the bus and blamed him exclusively instead of himself.

That defense was salty. Damn...the safeties would hit you. The LB's would hit you. The DL would crush you. Watch the LSU game again...our defense controlled the game until Russell showed up. It was probably the best quarter of football Russell ever played too.
And Iowa's DLine got gassed because we went turtle up conservative offense and the defense played most of the 4th qtr, a typical way Iowa loses games

And we nearly lost because of it.
