7 was Iowa's lucky number during the 1981 season. Six of Iowa's opponents scored exactly 7 points, beginning with the 10-7 win over #7 Nebraska to open the season.

What a run for these single digit phenoms. No offense to Ihmir but #6 belongs to Superman. I mean Timmy.
5 is a tough call. Coin toss for me.

5 - the number of former Hawkeyes in the NFL Hall of Fame: Alex Karras, Paul Krause, Duke Slater, Andre Tippett, and Emlen Tunnell.
Hey, EvilMonkey, you've let your own thread slide. It's now 3 days until Hawkeye football.
A recent #3 worth remembering is Keith Duncan, who set Hawkeye and Big Ten record for FGs in a season (29) in 2019. He hit some clutch game-winners, was a consensus All-American, and named to the BTN all-decade team.

Gophs playing North Carolina tomorrow night on Fox. Should be a good one to watch.
Two - the number of HCs the Hawks have had since Bob Commings was fired in 1978.
#2 - Gordon Locke, 2x first-team All-American in 1921 and 1922. The Hawks went undefeated both of those seasons, and highlights included ending Knute Rocke and Notre Dame's 20-game winning streak in 1921 and winning at the Yale Bowl in 1922 (the first "west" team to beat Yale). Locke scored 12 TDs during 1922 in only seven games, which established a Big Ten record.
#2 Tarig Holman. Kind of overlooked being in the Fry to Ferentz transition years but anybody that picks off two passes against some guy named Tom Brady in one game will always have a great story to tell. Too bad they lost that game 12-9, would've been a bright spot in Hayden's final year. Also my freshman year at Iowa and first Iowa-Michigan game in person.
