About Iowa Hawkeyes Football

Iowa Hawkeyes football has been a Saturday ritual in Iowa City since 1889, when the University of Iowa elevated the sport to varsity status after years of club football dating to 1872. The Hawkeyes joined the Western Conference, now the Big Ten, in 1899 and shared the league title in their very first conference season in 1900. The Hawkeye name traces to The Last of the Mohicans, the James Fenimore Cooper novel that gave Iowa its Hawkeye State identity, and the black and gold have carried the look ever since. Home games unfold at Kinnick Stadium, a 69,250-seat landmark that opened as Iowa Stadium in 1929 and took the name of Nile Kinnick, Iowa's only Heisman Trophy winner, in 1972.

The program's history runs through powerful eras. Howard Jones coached Iowa to consecutive Big Ten titles in 1921 and 1922, two seasons the school counts among its national championships, during a 20-game winning streak. In 1939, Eddie Anderson's undermanned Ironmen crashed the national rankings behind Nile Kinnick, who collected nearly every major award in the country. The Forest Evashevski years brought the golden age: four top-five finishes between 1956 and 1960, three Big Ten titles, Rose Bowl victories in 1957 and 1959, and the 1958 national championship from the Football Writers Association of America. Two lean decades followed, setting the stage for the defining rebuild.

Hayden Fry arrived in 1979 and flipped the program's fortunes, delivering a share of the 1981 Big Ten title and Iowa's first winning season in 21 years, then a 1985 team that climbed to No. 1 in the polls and claimed the program's first outright conference crown in 27 years. Fry also helped create the Tiger Hawk logo, overhauled the uniforms in the image of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and left behind a famously pink visitors' locker room meant to keep opponents calm. Kirk Ferentz took the reins in 1999 and sustained the standard, with three consecutive top-10 finishes from 2002 through 2004, two more Big Ten titles, and a 24-14 defeat of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in the 2010 Orange Bowl that stands as Iowa's first BCS bowl victory. Those chapters are a big part of why Iowa Hawkeyes football tickets carry so much history every fall.

Who are the most famous players in Iowa Hawkeyes football history?

Nile Kinnick, the winner of the 1939 Heisman Trophy, tops the list of famous Iowa Hawkeyes football players, and the depth behind him is the real story.
  • Nile Kinnick: Iowa's only Heisman winner, with his No. 24 retired and his name on Kinnick Stadium.
  • Cal Jones: the first African-American winner of the Outland Trophy in 1955 and a two-time consensus All-American whose No. 62 is retired.
  • Alex Karras: the 1957 Outland Trophy winner who went on to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
  • Chuck Long: the quarterback who swept the Maxwell and Davey O'Brien awards in 1985.
  • Robert Gallery: the 2003 Outland Trophy winner and the No. 2 overall pick in the 2004 NFL draft.
The pipeline to the pros runs deep. Five Hawkeyes, Emlen Tunnell, Paul Krause, Andre Tippett, Alex Karras, and Duke Slater, have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and the program has produced 26 first-round NFL draft picks plus at least one selection in every NFL draft since 1978.

How many national championships have the Iowa Hawkeyes won?

The Iowa Hawkeyes claim five national championships, in 1921, 1922, 1956, 1958, and 1960. The 1958 title carries the most weight: after a 38-12 Rose Bowl win over California that set or tied six Rose Bowl records, the Football Writers Association of America presented Iowa its Grantland Rice Trophy. The broader resume includes 13 conference championships, among them 11 Big Ten titles won between 1900 and 2004, and three Big Ten West division crowns in 2015, 2021, and 2023. The bowl ledger holds a 35-19 Rose Bowl win over Oregon State in 1957 plus The Catch, Drew Tate's 56-yard scoring strike to Warren Holloway with 46 seconds left that beat the defending national champion LSU Tigers 30-25 in the 2005 Capital One Bowl. Iowa has reached No. 1 in the AP and Coaches polls 15 times, and those peaks are woven into what Iowa Hawkeyes football tickets mean across the state.

What major awards have Iowa Hawkeyes football players won?

Iowa Hawkeyes football players have won many of college football's biggest national awards, headlined by the program's lone Heisman Trophy and four Outland Trophies for the nation's best interior lineman. The full trophy case:
  • Heisman Trophy: Nile Kinnick, 1939, the only winner in school history.
  • Outland Trophy: Cal Jones (1955), Alex Karras (1957), Robert Gallery (2003), and Brandon Scherff (2014).
  • Maxwell Award: Nile Kinnick (1939) and Chuck Long (1985).
  • Davey O'Brien Award: Chuck Long (1985) and Brad Banks (2002).
  • Doak Walker Award: Shonn Greene (2008).
  • Jim Thorpe Award: Desmond King (2015).
  • Butkus Award: Jack Campbell (2022).
  • John Mackey Award: Dallas Clark (2002) and T.J. Hockenson (2018).
The honors go beyond individual hardware. Iowa counts 37 consensus All-American selections, 16 College Football Hall of Fame inductees counting players and coaches alike, Kirk Ferentz's 2002 AP Coach of the Year Award, and the Joe Moore Award the offensive line won in 2016. A Laureus World Sports Award for Best Sporting Moment in 2018 rounds out the team shelf.

What makes Iowa Hawkeyes football game days so special?

Iowa Hawkeyes football game days revolve around the Kinnick Wave, which ESPN called "college football's coolest new tradition." Since 2017, at the end of the first quarter, the whole stadium turns toward the 12-story Stead Family Children's Hospital directly across the street and waves to the young patients and families watching from the upper floors, and at night games the wave lights up again with cellphone flashlights. The rest of Saturday runs on ritual, from the Swarm, the team's unified walk from the tunnel set to Enter Sandman that dates to 2005, to the Hawkeye Marching Band, founded in 1881, closing out victories with the polka standard In Heaven There Is No Beer, to Herky the Hawk, a mascot named for the Greek god Hercules who first appeared live in 1959. Trophy games frame the fall: Floyd of Rosedale, the bronze pig born of a 1935 wager by Minnesota's governor, goes to the winner against the Minnesota Golden Gophers in Iowa's oldest trophy game; the Cy-Hawk Trophy is on the line against the Iowa State Cyclones in a series dating to 1894; the Heartland Trophy is contested with the Wisconsin Badgers; and the Heroes Trophy game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers lands on the Friday after Thanksgiving. For anyone holding Iowa Hawkeyes football tickets, the first-quarter wave tends to be the moment that stays with them.
