The University of Iowa officially recognizes its first football team fielded in 1889. The 1920’s saw great success for the Hawkeyes under Hall of Fame coach Howard Jones. When Jones left for USC, Iowa slipped to the bottom of their conference. 1939 saw a brief resurgence with team MVP and Heisman Winner Nile Kinnick leading the team to several upset victories and nearly to another Big Ten title. Coach Forest Evashevski would lead the Hawkeyes to their only National Championship (according to the Football Writers of America Poll) in 1958. Current coach Kirk Ferentz has his own share of honors with two Big Ten titles in the last 6 years.
The Iowa Hawkeyes play their home games at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa. The stadium holds more than 70,500 fans.
