Iowa took the lead with a touchdown on its opening drive and led start-to-ﬁnish
in defeating 13th-ranked Michigan 24-16 in Kinnick Stadium. Iowa’s sixth victory
of the year wasn’t secure until DB B.J. Lowery knocked away Michigan’s ﬁnal

score in four plays.
After stopping Michigan on three plays to open the game, the Hawkeyes drove

4-yard line after QB James Vandenberg had completed consecutive passes to Keenan
Davis (44 yards) and Marvin McNutt, Jr.
Michigan answered with a touchdown drive, but Iowa maintained a 7-6 advantage
when the snap for the PAT attempt was fumbled. Iowa increased its advantage to
14-6 in the second quarter, as a 1-yard pass from Vandenberg to TE Brad Herman
capped a 78 yard scoring drive.
LB Tyler Nielsen had a QB sack and caused a fumble that led to Iowa’s ﬁnal
score of the ﬁrst half. Nielsen recovered the Michigan fumble after forcing the ball
loose and PK Mike Meyer added a 42-yard ﬁeld goal for a 17-6 advantage. The
Wolverines threatened to score late in the half, but LB Christian Kirksey came up
with an interception after a deﬂection.
Michigan closed its deﬁcit to 17-9 in the third period on a 32-yard ﬁeld goal.
But Iowa came right back when Coker ran 13 yards for a touchdown with 10:42

Michigan State at Iowa - - Kinnick Stadium Date of Release: Nov. 7, 2011
EFFICIENCY CONTINUED . . .
Iowa scored touchdowns on all ﬁve ﬁrst half possessions in
the win over Indiana and added a ﬁeld goal on its ﬁrst drive
of the third quarter. Dating back to the Northwestern game
the previous week, Iowa scored on 10 of 11 possessions in
the two games, with the only non-scoring drive coming at the
conclusion of the Northwestern game when Iowa reached the
Wildcat 15-yard line as time expired in the 41-31 win.
Against Indiana, Iowa’s opening drive took over seven
minutes and covered 69 yards. The Hawkeyes ended the
second period with a 53-yard drive that took just four plays
and 44 seconds.
IOWA COMEBACKS
Iowa’s rally for a 31-27 win over Pittsburgh (Sept. 17) is
believed to be the largest 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 deﬁcit 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 ﬁrst half deﬁcit for a 30-27 win at
Minnesota in 1986, winning on a 37-yard ﬁeld goal with
one second remaining.
• Iowa rallied from a 17-0 ﬁrst half deﬁcit for a 37-30 home
win over Michigan State in 1996. Iowa rallied to tie the
game at 23 and 30 before scoring the winning touchdown
early in the fourth period.
• Iowa rallied from a 14-point deﬁcit for a 42-24 win over
Indiana in 2009 at Kinnick Stadium. The Hawkeyes trailed
21-7 in the third period when an 86-yard interception return
sparked Iowa’s rally.
• Iowa’s rally ties as the second largest this season among
FBS teams. Houston rallied from a 27-point deﬁcit to take
a win over Louisiana Tech, while Nebraska rallied from
21 points down to defeat Ohio State.
TEN IS BIGGEST LOSS
Iowa’s 13-3 loss at Penn State marked the ﬁrst 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 ﬁrst time since that
2007 loss at Purdue.
HAWKEYES TO WATCH
A number of Iowa players were named to preseason all-Big
Ten and All-America teams. Those named to preseason Watch

FERENTZ JOINS CHALLENGE
Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz and Iowa State Coach Paul Rhoads
have joined forces with the Iowa Mentoring Partnership for
the 2011 Coaches’ Challenge. The Coaches’ Challenge runs
from Aug. 1-Nov. 21 and is a competition between Iowa,
Nebraska and Kansas to see which state can recruit the most
mentors.
For three years, Kansas and Nebraska have competed in a
“Coaches Mentoring Challenge”, with Bo Pelini (Nebraksa),
Bill Snyder (Kansas State) and Turner Gill (Kansas) taking
part in the competition. Ferentz and Rhoads have joined the
competition this season.
According to The National Mentoring Partnership, there
are 15 million children in the nation in need of caring and
quality mentors. In Iowa, it is estimated that nearly 5,000
young people are currently in need of a mentor. Many
of these children and youth are young men who would
strongly beneﬁt from a positive male role model. The Iowa
Mentoring Partnership, an initiative of the Iowa Commission
on Volunteer Service, upholds the commission’s mission
to “improve lives, strengthen communities and foster civic
engagement through service and volunteering” by supporting
quality mentoring services and by working to close the
mentoring gap in our state.
The Iowa Mentoring Partnership currently supports a
network of more than 80 local, certiﬁed mentoring programs.
Any new mentor application received between Aug. 1-Nov.
21 will count towards the score of the respective state, with
cumulative totals updated each month.

game at the conclusion of each of the last three seasons,
with two of the three being January bowl wins. Among Big

bowl games in as many seasons.
• Iowa has defeated a team ranked in the top ﬁve in the na-
tion, in the Associated Press rankings, in each of the past

history.

(2002-04) for ﬁrst time in school history.

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
percentage in bowl games.
Nebraska, in its ﬁrst season in the Big Ten Conference, has
won 24 of its 47 bowl games.
Iowa was one of eight Big Ten Conference teams to
participate 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 qualiﬁed 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 84 wins since the start of the 2002 season,
which ties as the 16th highest total in Division I football. The
list includes the following: Boise State (115); USC (106);
Oklahoma (106); Ohio State (105); LSU (101); Texas (101);

BEST DECADE FOR IOWA FOOTBALL
Iowa’s 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 1980’s and the Hawkeyes were 62-53-2 (.538) in
the 1990’s.
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.
Current Coach Kirk Ferentz replaced Fry, leading the program
for the last 12 seasons. Ferentz also served as Iowa’s offensive
line coach from 1981-89 under Fry.
WATCHING FROM ABOVE
Iowa’s 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
assistant coaches David Raih and Charlie Bullen. That leaves
Ken O’Keefe (offensive coordinator), Erik Campbell (wide
receivers), Phil Parker (defensive backs), Reese Morgan
(offensive line), Darrell Wilson (linebackers and special
teams), Rick Kaczenski (defensive line) and Eric Johnson
(tight ends) on the sidelines.

GAME RECAP
Penn State took advantage of three Iowa turnovers in the fourth
quarter in taking a 13-3 win at University Park. Iowa had won three
straight meetings against Penn State and the last two games at
PSU. The series is now even at 12 wins each.
Penn State drove to a ﬁeld goal on its ﬁrst drive, taking a 3-0
advantage after an opening drive that lasted over eight minutes.

play, 72-yard drive. Due to time consuming drives, each team had
just two possessions in the ﬁrst period. The Nittany Lions took the
lead with 4:59 remaining in the second period when Anthony Fera
booted his second 20-yard ﬁeld goal of the half.
Iowa still trailed by just a ﬁeld goal late in the third period when
CB Micah Hyde came up with an interception in the end zone to
stop a Penn State scoring threat. The theft was Hyde’s third of the
season.
Iowa moved across midﬁeld after collecting the only PSU
turnover of the game, but a QB sack by Penn State resulted in a
Hawkeye fumble and the home team took over at the Iowa 49-yard
line. Penn State drove for the only touchdown of the game from
there, scoring on a two-yard pass on third down.
Iowa’s next two possessions ended with PSU pass interceptions,
the second coming on a tipped pass with just 3:42 remaining. The
Nittany Lions held Iowa on downs on its last possession and ran
out the clock to earn the win. The Hawkeye offense was held to
just 114 yards total offense in the second half.
LB James Morris led the Iowa defense with 13 tackles and LB
Christian Kirksey recorded 10 stops and a forced fumble. DL

GAME RECAP
Iowa scored 24 points in the fourth quarter to pull away for a
41-31 win over Northwestern in Kinnick Stadium last Saturday
night. Iowa built a 17-0 advantage in the ﬁrst half, only to see the
Wildcats rally to tie the score with 4:19 left in the third quarter. The
Hawkeyes then scored points on four straight possessions to earn
their fourth win of the season.
Iowa started fast, driving 52 yards on its ﬁrst possession, which
ended in a 27-yard Mike Meyer ﬁeld goal. The Hawkeye defense
then came up with a big play on Northwestern’s second possession.
DE Broderick Binns recorded a QB pressure to force a bad pass
and DB Tanner Miller collected his ﬁrst career interception and
scored on a 98-yard return.
Iowa increased its advantage to 17-0 in the second period when
QB James Vandenberg connected with WR Keenan Davis on a
47-yard scoring strike. Northwestern scored on a six-yard scoring
pass late in the quarter and the half ended with Iowa on top 17-7.
Northwestern drove to a second touchdown on its opening
possession of the second half. After a three-play Iowa possession
the Wildcats tied the game on a 47-yard ﬁeld goal. That’s when
the Iowa offense answered. The Hawkeyes drove 64 yards on
their next possession, which culminated with a Marcus Coker one-
yard touchdown. Northwestern missed a ﬁeld goal on its following
possession and Iowa answered with a 35-yard scoring strike from
Vandenberg to WR Marvin McNutt, Jr. The scoring reception was
the 21st career touchdown catch for McNutt, Jr., equaling Iowa’s
career record.
Binns forced a fumble on Northwestern’s next possession and
Meyer booted a 40-yard ﬁeld goal, giving Iowa a 34-17 advantage.
Coker scored on a second one-yard run later in the game for
Iowa’s ﬁnal points.
Coker led Iowa’s rushing game with 124 yards on 22 carries.
Vandenberg completed 14-22 passes for 224 yards and McNutt,
Jr. (6-87) and Davis (5-109) led Iowa’s receivers.
Iowa’s defense was forced to play without normal starters
in LB James Morris and DT Tom Nardo. Senior Tyler Nielsen
stepped in at middle linebacker and led the team with a career-
high 12 tackles. DB Micah Hyde and LB Christian Kirksey each
had nine tackles and Miller added a career-best eight stops to his
interception return.

GAME RECAP
Senior WR Marvin McNutt, Jr. stole the show as Iowa celebrated
homecoming with a 45-24 win over Indiana. Iowa scored
touchdowns on each of its ﬁve ﬁrst-half possessions and added a
ﬁeld goal to cap its ﬁrst drive of the third period.
McNutt, Jr. led the Iowa offense with six receptions for 184 yards
and three touchdowns. He had an 80-yard scoring reception on
Iowa’s second possession to give the Hawkeyes a 14-7 lead. That
play ties as the ninth-longest scoring pass in school history and
gives McNutt, Jr. three of the 10 longest scoring receptions at Iowa
(92, 88 and 80 yards). He added a 24-yard scoring catch on Iowa’s
next possession as Iowa took a 21-14 advantage and never looked
back. McNutt, Jr. had his third score in the ﬁnal minute of the ﬁrst
half, with his 29-yard reception giving Iowa a 35-14 advantage at
the break. He now holds the Iowa record for career touchdown
receptions (24).
The Hawkeyes drove 69 yards on their ﬁrst possession, ending
a seven-minute drive with a one-yard run by RB Marcus Coker.
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 Iowa’s ground
game with 23 carries for 139 yards. Coker has rushed for over 100
yards in four of seven games in 2011.
Iowa’s only scoring of the third period came on a 47-yard ﬁeld
goal by Mike Meyer. The Hawkeyes ended their scoring with 3:10
remaining in the game when TE Brad Herman grabbed a one-
yard pass from QB James Vandenberg. Meyer made all six PAT
attempts to remain perfect (28-28) on the season.
Vandenberg had the most efﬁcient day of his career, completing
12-16 passes for 253 yards, with no interceptions. The four scoring
passes are a career high. Iowa gained 456 yards total offense, with
203 rushing yards to go with Vandenberg’s passing total.
Indiana scored touchdowns on its ﬁrst two drives of the day,
but from that point was held to just a ﬁeld goal until adding a third
touchdowns in the ﬁnal minute of play.
Sophomore LB Christian Kirksey led the Hawkeye defense with
12 tackles, just one shy of his career best. DB Tanner Miller and
LB James Morris each added 10 tackles, while DE Broderick Binns
had two tackles for loss and DB B.J. Lowery had two pass break-
ups.

GAME RECAP
Minnesota scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to rally
for a 22-21 win over Iowa in Minneapolis. The Gophers scored the
winning points on a fourth down, three-yard run with 2:48 remaining
in the game. Iowa’s defense held Minnesota out of the end zone on
the two-point conversion attempt, but the Hawkeyes were unable to
move into ﬁeld goal position on their last possession.
Iowa dominated much of the game, but the Hawkeyes were able
to convert just three of six red zone possessions into points. The
Hawkeyes missed two ﬁeld goals in the ﬁrst half before taking a
7-0 advantage on a 12-yard pass from QB James Vandenberg to
WR Marvin McNutt, Jr. The play completed a 53-yard scoring drive
following a fumble recovery by DB Jordan Bernstine. Minnesota
answered with a touchdown with 1:13 left in the half, leaving the
score tied at seven at the midway point.
Iowa drove 63 yards on its ﬁrst possession of the second half,
taking a 14-7 lead on a one-yard run by RB Marcus Coker. After
the Iowa defense forced a second straight three-and-out, the
Hawkeyes seemed poised for another score after reaching the
Gopher 14. But a Vandenberg fumble was recovered by the
Gophers and Minnesota drove to a 28-yard ﬁeld goal.
Iowa increased its advantage on its following possession,
covering 71 yards in just seven plays. Vandenberg completed a
12-yard pass to OL Woody Orne (tackle eligible) on third down
before Coker scored his second touchdown from the one, and Iowa
led 21-10 with 13:51 to play.
Minnesota closed the gap to 21-16 with 8:22 remaining, driving 80
yards in 11 plays. The two-point conversion failed, but Minnesota
kept momentum by recovering an onside kick to maintain
possession. The Gophers drove to fourth down at the three, where
QB MarQueis Gray scored the winning points.
Iowa’s offense dominated much of the ﬁrst three quarters.
Despite just seven offensive plays in the ﬁnal quarter, Iowa gained
446 yards total offense and had just one punt. Minnesota gained
371 yards total offense, with 155 yards coming in the ﬁnal period.
In addition, 100 of Minnesota’s 193 passing yards came on two
long completions that led to 10 Gopher points.
Coker led the Iowa offense with 32 attempts for 252 yards and
the two scores. The yardage ranks as the third best single-game
total in school history. Vandenberg completed 16-24 passes for
177 yards and a touchdown, with no interceptions. McNutt, Jr. led
Hawkeye receivers with seven receptions for 101 yards.
LB James Morris matched a career best with 13 tackles to lead
the defense. DB Tanner Miller, LB Christian Kirksey and LB Tyler
Nielsen each added six stops and DB Shaun Prater had his third
caused fumble of the year.

GAME RECAP
Iowa took the lead with a touchdown on its opening drive and led

and-goal at the Iowa 3-yard line with 16 seconds remaining, but
failed to score in four plays.
After stopping Michigan on three plays to open the game, the

RB Marcus Coker scored from the 4-yard line after QB James

Michigan answered with a touchdown drive, but Iowa maintained
a 7-6 advantage when the snap for the PAT attempt was fumbled.
Iowa increased its advantage to 14-6 in the second quarter, as a
1-yard pass from Vandenberg to TE Brad Herman capped a 78
yard scoring drive.

to score late in the half, but LB Christian Kirksey came up with an
interception after a deﬂection.
Michigan closed its deﬁcit to 17-9 in the third period on a 32-yard
ﬁeld goal. But Iowa came right back when Coker ran 13 yards for a

Michigan scored its ﬁnal points with 7:53 to play, completing a
