IOWA COMEBACKS
Iowas rally for a 31-27 win over Pittsburgh (Sept. 17) is believed to be the larg-
est comeback for a win in Hawkeye history, as the Hawkeyes trailed by 21 points
(24-3) with 3:11 remaining in the third quarter. Following is a list of previous Iowa
rallies that are believed to be the largest in school history:
Iowa rallied from an 18-point decit in a 34-31 win over Oregon in 1949 in
Iowa City. Iowa trailed 24-6 with 2:30 left in the third quarter against the Ducks.
Iowa rallied from a 17-0 rst half decit for a 30-27 win at Minnesota in 1986,
winning on a 37-yard eld goal with one second remaining.
Iowa rallied from a 17-0 rst half decit for a 37-30 home win over Michigan
State in 1996. Iowa rallied to tie the game at 23 and 30 before scoring the win-
ning touchdown early in the fourth period.
Iowa rallied from a 14-point decit for a 42-24 win over Indiana in 2009 at Kin-
nick Stadium. The Hawkeyes trailed 21-7 in the third period when an 86-yard
interception return sparked Iowas rally.
Iowas rally ties as the second largest this season among FBS teams. Houston
rallied from a 27-point decit to take a win over Louisiana Tech, while Nebraska
rallied from 21 points down to defeat Ohio State.
TEN IS BIGGEST LOSS
Iowas 13-3 loss at Penn State marked the rst Iowa loss by more than nine points
in 48 games, dating back to a 31-6 loss at Purdue on Oct. 20, 2007. Iowa had not
lost a game by more than a touchdown in 43 games, dating back to a 28-19 loss
to Western Michigan on Nov. 17, 2007. Both streaks ranked as the longest in the
nation. In the loss at Penn State, Iowa failed to score a touchdown for the rst time
since that 2007 loss at Purdue.

18th best total in the nation.
Iowa posted a 46-26 Big Ten record from 2002-10, which
ranks second among league teams over that span.
Kirk Ferentz has been named Big Ten Coach of the Year
three times (2002, 2004 & 2009) and he was named Na-
tional Coach of the Year in 2002. Ferentz joins Michigans
Bo Schembechler (four), Iowas Hayden Fry (three) and
Penn States Joe Paterno (three) as the only coaches to be
honored in more than two seasons.
Iowa has had national award winners in: Robert Gallery
(2003 Outland, Top Lineman); Brad Banks (2002 Davey
OBrien, Top Quarterback; 2002 Associated Press Na-
tional Player of the Year); Dallas Clark (2002 Mackey,

and Texas) to have ve different individual players earn
national Player of the Year honors at their position since
2002.
HAWKEYES THIRD IN BOWL APPEARANCES
Iowa ranks third in Big Ten bowl appearances. Ohio State
has received a conference-best 42 bowl bids, followed by
Michigan (40) and the Hawkeyes (25). Wisconsin ranks
fourth with 22.
Iowa (14-10-1, .580), Penn State (27-14-2, .651) and Purdue
(8-7, .533) are the only Big Ten teams with a winning percent-
age in bowl games.
Iowa was one of eight Big Ten Conference teams to partici-
pate in a bowl game following the 2010 season. The Big Ten
had two teams compete in BCS games for the 10th time in 13
seasons. Since the inception of the BCS in 1998, the Big Ten
has qualied 23 teams for BCS bowls, more than any other
conference. Seven different Big Ten programs have played
in BCS bowl games. The Big Ten sent eight teams to bowl
games for the third time (2003 & 2007). Big Ten Conference
teams posted a 4-3 record in bowl games following the 2009
season and a 3-5 mark in 2010.
IOWA AMONG TOP 20 IN WINS, 2002-11
Iowa has posted 83 wins since the start of the 2002 season,
which is the 17th highest total in Division I football. The
list includes the following: Boise State (114); USC (105);
Oklahoma (104); Ohio State (103); LSU (100); Texas (99);
Virginia Tech (98); TCU (97); Georgia (93); Florida (92);
Auburn (92); West Virginia (90); Wisconsin (87); Alabama
(87); Utah (86); Texas Tech (84); IOWA (83); Boston College
(81); Penn State (80) and Miami, FL (80).
BEST DECADE FOR IOWA FOOTBALL
Iowas football record in the 2000 decade was 80-45 (.640),
a record that ranks as the best decade in Iowa football history,
based on total wins. Iowa posted a record of 77-40-4 (.652)
during the 1980s and the Hawkeyes were 62-53-2 (.538) in
the 1990s.
Part of the Hawkeye success is due to the stability in the
program, as Iowa has had just two head coaches since 1979.
Hayden Fry took over prior to the 1979 season and coached
through the 1998 season, posting a record of 143-89-6. Cur-
rent Coach Kirk Ferentz replaced Fry, leading the program for
the last 12 seasons. Ferentz also served as Iowas offensive
line coach from 1981-89 under Fry.
WATCHING FROM ABOVE
Iowas coaches in the press box are Norm Parker (defensive
coordinator) and Lester Erb (running back and special teams),
along with quality control Scott Southmayd and graduate as-
sistant coaches David Raih and Charlie Bullen. That leaves
Ken OKeefe (offensive coordinator), Erik Campbell (wide
receivers), Phil Parker (defensive backs), Reese Morgan (of-
fensive line), Darrell Wilson (linebackers and special teams),
Rick Kaczenski (defensive line) and Eric Johnson (tight ends)
on the sidelines.
ROSE BOWL EXPERIENCE
Four members of the Iowa coaching staff have coached or
played in the Rose Bowl. Kirk Ferentz coached in two Rose
Bowl games while on the Iowa staff. Norm Parker and Phil
Parker both coached in the Rose Bowl while on the staff at
Michigan State. Erik Campbell played in one Rose Bowl
during his Michigan career and coached in four others while
on the Wolverine coaching staff.

Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Wiscon-
sin; two from Minnesota, Nebraska; one from California,
Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Mon-

McNutt, Jr. led the Iowa offense with six receptions for 184 yards
and three touchdowns. He had an 80-yard scoring reception on

next possession as Iowa took a 21-14 advantage and never looked
back. McNutt, Jr. had his third score in the nal minute of the rst
half, with his 29-yard reception giving Iowa a 35-14 advantage at

Coker added his second score, a two-yard run, to give Iowa a 28-
14 lead with 1:38 remaining in the half. Coker led Iowas ground
