This game was the opener of the 2001 season, Kirk's first win on opening day and 5th overall. It saw the first appearances of Brad Banks, Dallas Clark (as a tightend), Aaron Greving and CJ Jones. The offensive line showed that the lumps it took in 99 and 2000 were beginning to pay off as it dominated the overwhelmed MAC team. Ladell Betts led Hawkeye rushers with 99 yards, while Jeremy Allen, Siaka Massaquoi, Fred Russell, Robbie Crockett, and Aaron Greving all rumbled for big gains as well. Aaron Greving tied the NCAA Division 1 record of three touchdowns on his first three carries as well.
