What are the biggest "Blowouts" of the KF era?

[DEREKoh2]

Seems like we always fight in a phone booth. Always are in a game in the 4th quarter, and loose to teams we shouldn't, and win against teams we weren't supposed to. What are the biggest "blow out" wins and losses of the Ferentz era? And do we have one more than another?

In teal bowl games against real competition, we routinely get our asses handed to us. Too slow, no skill positions and zero creativity

The key is to not over do the flour.

Guess I’ll go with favorite ones.
Ohio st last year of course 55-24.
08’ Minnesota 55-0 to close out the dome.
15’ 40-10 vs northwestern both teams ranked but amazing how Iowa did it with all the injuries on offense with beathard barely able to run then lose canzeri and wadley goes beast mode.
10’ 37-6 against top 5 Michigan st. With the infamous Chris L Rucker self punishment game.
02’ Michigan at the big house to spoil homecoming and game where nation started to notice that team. Or northwestern on senior day 66-10 and the OL running off the field together. Weather was great that day, beer seemed colder than normal and game over within first 5 minutes with failed onside to start the game.

As for worst rose bowl vs Stanford and it isn’t even close.

Iowa is 7-8 in bowl games with KF. 4-7 vs teams finished ranked with 4 of those games put an unranked Iowa team against a ranked team. So what do you expect? Only time a team beat Iowa in a bowl and didn’t finished ranked was Tenn. in 14’. Wish could find stat but Iowa been under dog in high % of bowl games in his tenure so in that fact Iowa has over achieved.

Most satisfying blowout for me was the 2003 game against Iowa St. in Ames.

Reading is a skill. I said real bowl games against real competition...not 7-5 teams or teams that made bowl games due to conference tie in instead of performance

 

[I O WUH]

Actually you said “teal” bowl games

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

2003 vs Buffalo was 42-0 @ halftime

 

[hawkguy77]

Blowout losses would be the Rose Bowl and Arizona State there, 44-7.

What are the real games you speak 1st orange bowl 17-10 at halftime before the bottom fell out.. 2nd orange bowl which Iowa one, rose bowl in which Stanford was the better team but Iowa spotted them 21 points before they figure anything out.. what about how many defending national champions or future national champion (with in 1-2) years did Iowa play.. clearly you are a troll and can easily be proven wrong.

95% sure it was 10-10 at half and we had first and goal we messed up.
Penalty then missed fgoal.

Actually we are 8-7 if you reverse the "real refs of genius" game. Total screw job.

The Orange Bowl loss vs USC was a blowout. We lost 38-17, but after opennig kickoff it was 38-10 and arguabley the hottest team in the country. As much as I loved our team that year we were no match to the Trojans. Maybe not the most lopsided score but stands out in my mind.

I agree. I maybe can't recall exactly correctly, but Iowa picked up two first team JUCO AA's in Brad Banks QB from Mississippi and a WR, CJ Jones from Florida. Most electric offense during the KF era. Run pass threat, with the most massive OL and FR at RB. Never seen anything like it. I remember on TV they would always show the massive size of Iowa's line and then FR. 6'6 to 6'7 across the board. with 5'9 FR. Went undefeated in the big 10. I remember watching the beginning of the Orange Bowl (against Pete Carroll's USC) at my father's house with my bros. Iowa was the favorite. The opening kick off, CJ Jones takes a 100 yard touchdown to the house!!!! I told my brothers that that this game was over! I was so wrong. It marked the resurgence of USC.

This is where Bret Bielema (Iowa's assistant coach at the time) became a big time national commodity for recruiting Fred Barr, Colin Cole, Brad Banks, CJ Jones and Fred Russell. He created a pipeline to Florida that no Big Ten team had ever had. And we went undefeated in the Big Ten. Alvarez picked him up quickly and he and Iowa's pipeline to the south disappeared. Nice to see that we are re-establishing that!

'We'? How did feel being on the field and getting beat like that? Were those teams that much better than you or was it your teammates fault?

Hawks were actually underdogs.

How young are you guys/how much damage has alcohol done to your memories?



Iowa was up 56-0 at halftime to Ball State in 2005.

They've scored 62 pts against Northwestern in '02 and against North Texas in '16.

I also recommend doing a YouTube search on Iowa FB videos as there's been a bunch uploaded recently including biggest blowouts in recent years. Great highlight videos to help get you through the summer.



......at least for a week or so.

Iowa > your team

 

[funnyfletcher]

Western Michigan was an elite beat down a few years back. 59-3? 2 punt return touchdowns and 2 interception return touchdowns.

perhaps you should stick to commenting on topics you are familiar with.

 

[grayhair81]

One of my favorites was the 2004 OSU beatdown. The score didn't do justice to how lopsided that was.

Every real bowl game iowa has played in. Save for the win over LSU when kirk had one of his more talented defenses and won on a fluke play. Mizzou was not a great team when we played them, nor was georgia tech

of course we were

 

[LAhawkeye]

Besides the games against the Akrons, Ball States and Florida Internationals of the nation, the biggest blowouts and most over-matched teams I've seen Iowa play in the KF era were 2001 Northwestern, 2002 Northwestern and 2008 Minnesota.

2001 Iowa 59 Northwestern 16 - It was complete dominance, the left side of Iowa's line was Gallery, Steinbach and Nelson who were blowing up NW's defensive line all day. Iowa had 6 TDs on the ground, Allen - 2, Betts - 2, Greving - 1, Massaquoi - 1. McCann and Banks were trading drives and it didn't seem to matter who was in. If it wasn't for an early Banks interception, NW would not have scored against Iowa's first team. Iowa racked up 59 points in the first 3 quarters and called off the dogs.

2002 Iowa 62 Northwestern 10 - It was like playing a video game for the Iowa offense. Banks had literally all the time he wanted to throw. He went 10 for 10 on the day with 3 TDs and rushed for another 54 yards and 2 TDs, Iowa rushed for 263 yards on the day. In the 2nd half Iowa did not allow a first down and only gave up 31 total yards until the final drive of the game.

2008 Iowa 55 Minnesota 0 - Iowa had 483 total yards to Minnesota's 134, and out-rushed them 222 to 7. The goal posts survived this time but Lois Feldman's reputation did not.

The Arizona State game in 2004 is the biggest blowout I've ever seen of an Iowa team. 511 total yards to 100. Ugh.

I have to agree with this Nebber. Neb has to be a few of our biggest blowout wins.

56-14, 40-10. Take your pick.

Yeah I mean cause GT only won the ACC that year and had top rushing offense in the nation. Ranked top 10. Nope they were awful. Man you must be a blast to watch Iowa games with....pessimism at its best.

Yep, I love those behind the woodshed beat downs against the Cornsuckers.

ACC sucked that year, they only run the ball so lead it every year and i quit watching the iowa ferentz’s years ago

I've edited the 01 and 02 Northwestern games, which anyone who wants can watch here:





I'm surprised that no one has done this for the 2008 Minnesota game. Maybe I'll do that one down the road.

I'd say that the 1999 Michigan State game was an even bigger blowout the other way. From the linked article, "The game was over by halftime, by which time Michigan State had already begun substituting. Michigan State had a 345-26 edge in yardage and a 19-1 margin in first downs."

Ouch.

For a person a person who hasn't watched Iowa for a couple years. You sure do know a lot and have your fair share of opinions on the team which all tend to be pretty pessimistic.
