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. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Iowa Hawkeyes football tickets.

2016 Iowa Hawkeyes Season Preview
The Iowa Hawkeyes are coming into the 2016 season from an exciting and memorable 2015 season when they finished 12-2 and claimed the Big Ten’s West Division title. The expectations for the Hawkeyes was low last season since they hadn't earned more than eight wins in a single season since 2010. All eyes will be on Iowa’s program to see if head coach Kirk Ferentz will be able to achieve another successful season and maintain their status as a favorite for the Big Ten West Division. Important players returning to the 2016 season are veteran quarterback C.J. Beathard who is more than capable of leading the solid offense and star cornerback, Desmond King. The offense will rely heavily on their running game with running backs LeShun Daniels and Akrum Wadley, who combined have accumulated 1,100 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns. Iowa will kick off the season at home against the Miami Redhawks before taking on in-state rival Iowa State on September 10th. Top games on the Iowa Hawkeyes 2016 schedule include Big Ten games against Wisconsin, Nebraska and Michigan.
