Ep 024: Northwestern Football - Recap of Iowa vs Northwestern history 1897-1939

We look at this week's opponent Northwestern and the games played from 1897 through the Nile Kinnick era ending in 1939. There have been 79 games played between the two teams, and Iowa is 53-28-3 (65%) all-time. To my surprise, the series has been fairly competitive except for a long stretch of 21 straight wins by Iowa from 1974 through 1994. Hayden Fry lost only 3 times to the Wildcats (1995-1997), but did beat them for his final victory as Iowa coach in 1998. He was 17-3 (85%). Overall, Ferentz is 11-11 (50%) against the Wildcats. However, there have been many Iowa blowouts in the series. 78-6 in 1913 68-34 in 1968 58-6 in 1979 64-0 in 1981 61-21 in 1983 52-24 in 1987 56-14 in 1990 56-14 in 1992 59-16 in 2001 62-10 in 2002 48-7 in 2014 Northwestern Football Games vs Iowa: https://hawkeyerecap.com/home.asp?sport=Football&opp=Northwestern Dennis Green Player Profile: https://hawkeyerecap.com/player.asp?id=146 Dennis Green Podcast Episode #3: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hawkeye-recap/episodes/Ep-003-Player-spotlight-on-Dennis-Green-1967-1970-Iowa-RB--Super-Bowl-winner--Northwestern-Head-Coach--NFL-Coach-e27osiq Intro music is "Roll Along Iowa" and the outro music is "Hawkeye Victory Polka" (aka "In heaven there is no beer!")
