2 HAWKEYES EARN ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICA HONORS DE Anthony Nelson was named a CoSIDA fi rst team Academic All-American and DE Parker Hesse and was named a CoSIDA second team Academic All-American. The announcement was made Dec. 14 by the College Sports Informa on Directors of America (CoSIDA). Both are members of Iowa’s 2017 Leadership Group. Hesse is a junior from Waukon, Iowa (Waukon). He carries a 3.72 GPA and has earned his degree in Interdepartmental Studies. He was named Academic All-Big Ten in both 2015 and 2016. Hesse earned honorable men on All-Big Ten honors in 2016 and was named to the Big Ten All-Freshman team by BTN.com in 2015. Nelson (6-foot-7, 260 pounds) is a sophomore from Urbandale, Iowa (Waukee).

In 2017, 41 members of the Iowa football program earned Academic All-Big Ten recogni on.

A NEW LOOK TO NATION’S TOP OFFENSIVE LINE UNIT The Hawkeyes entered the season with seven players returning on what was the top off ensive line in the country in 2016, but season-ending injuries to senior tackles Ike Boe ger and Boone Myers have cleared the depth chart for redshirt freshman Alaric Jackson and true freshman Tristan Wirfs. Jackson has started every game this season at le tackle, a posi on Myers has occupied 17 mes, including the last fi ve games of 2016. Wirfs has started the last seven games at right tackle. He is the fi rst true freshman in Ferentz’s 19 seasons to start at off ensive tackle, and only the fourth true freshman under Ferentz to ever start on the off ensive line. Center James Daniels, a junior in 2017, made two starts at le guard in 2015. The other two true freshman include Byran Bulaga in 2007 (5 games at LG) and Mike Jones in 2003 (seven games at le guard). Boe ger (LT, LG, RT), Myers (LT, LG), and Sean Welsh (RG, RT); Daniels (C), Lucas LeGrand (C), and Keegan Render (LG, RG); and Levi Paulsen (RG) all started at least one game for an off ensive line that won the Joe Moore Award in 2016. The Joe Moore Award honors off ensive line units that display a high level of toughness, eff ort, teamwork, consistency, technique, and “fi nishing”. It is the only major college football award to honor a unit. The Hawkeyes were selected over na onal runner-up Alabama and third-ranked Ohio State. Iowa was selected by a vo ng commi ee comprised solely of people who played or coached the off ensive line posi on, including all of the current off ensive line coaches at the Division I/FBS level as well as former players, coaches and colleagues of Coach Moore, and select media. Iowa’s off ense averaged 171.8 rushing yards per game -- averaging 4.5 yards per carry, and more than two yards before contact -- and 325 yards total off ense per game.

MYERS JOINS BOETTGER ON INJURED LIST Senior off ensive lineman Boone Myers underwent ankle surgery during the week prior to Iowa’s win over Minnesota and is out indefi nitely. Myers joins fellow senior Ike Boe ger on the injured list, as Boe ger suff ered an Achilles injury in Week 2 at Iowa State and is out for the season. Myers had 25 career starts, while Boe ger started 21 mes in his career.

• 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. Iowa is 57-38 (.600) since 2010.

• Part of the Hawkeyes’ long term success is due to the stability in the program. Iowa has had just two head coaches since 1979. Hayden Fry took over prior to the 1979 season and coached through the 1998 season, pos ng a record of 143-89-6. Current coach Kirk Ferentz replaced Fry and is leading the program for the 19th season. Ferentz also served as Iowa’s off ensive line coach from 1981-89 under Fry.

UNIVERSITY OF IOWA FOOTBALL PROGRAM NAMED 2017 DISNEY SPORTS SPIRIT AWARD WINNERThe University of Iowa football program has been chosen to receive the pres gious 2017 Disney Sports Spirit Award a er launching a heart-warming tradi on at its home games this season that is touching the lives of scores of young pa ents at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital. The Hawkeye program is a fi rst- me recipient of the award given annually to college football’s most inspira onal player, coach, team or fi gure. Disney Sports Vice President Faron Kelley presented the pres gious award to Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz at The Home Depot College Football Awards presented by GILDAN on Dec. 7 at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta. “The impact these fans are having on the lives of those young pa ents probably can’t be fully measured,’’ said Kelley. “Waving at them is seemingly a simple gesture but the eff ect it’s having on those kids should be an inspira on to all of us, and that’s why we so enthusias cally chose the Iowa football program for this coveted award.’’ On Sept. 2, shortly a er the university opened its Stead Family Children’s Hospital, which sits virtually next door to the team’s Kinnick Stadium, the Iowa football program started a new tradi on during its home games. At the end of the fi rst quarter, the stadium announcer encourages the roughly 70,000 fans who a end every home game to stand and wave to the young pa ents at the hospital. Word spread quickly inside the hospital, and more and more pa ents made their way to the hospital’s top fl oor which provides an unobstructed view of the football fi eld below. And they started waving back. As the season progressed, opposing players began joining the wave. Even the game’s referees have go en in on what’s now aff ec onately called the “Kinnick Wave.’’ In its wake have come stories of young pa ents who have been moved to break out of depression, to shed their despair and to embrace a more hopeful outlook despite their various levels of illness. “First and foremost, we are excited to have been selected the 2017 winner of the Disney Sports Spirit Award,” said University of Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz. “I don’t believe anyone would have imagined the wave -- “The Kinnick Wave” -- would have become such a universal show of support. It’s a simple way for 70,000 people to recognize the kids, the parents and hospital staff who are the real champions, fi gh ng every day to overcome signifi cant medical challenges. I’m proud that a kind gesture has had a profoundly posi ve impact on so many people in our state and the na on. We are honored and proud to be part of the Kinnick Wave.” The Iowa football program becomes the 22nd recipient of the award, joining past honorees James Connor (2016), Hank Goff (2015), Bob Stoops and Sterling Shepard (2014), Devon Walker (2013), Nate Boyer (2012), Carson Tinker and the University of Alabama (2011), D.J. Williams (2010), Mark Herzlich (2009) and Tim Tebow (2008), among others. The award was fi rst given in 1996 to Rossville High School’s Daniel Huff man. Kelley will present the award during The Home Depot College Football Awards presented by GILDAN on Dec. 7, airing on ESPN at 7 p.m. EST. The show – hosted by ESPN’s Chris Fowler; and joined by Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Maria Taylor and Tom Rinaldi – will originate from the College Football Hall of Fame and Chick-fi l-A Fan Experience in Atlanta.

GAME RECAP

Iowa scored the fi nal 24 points in a 24-3 season-opening

victory over Wyoming in Kinnick Stadium. The Hawkeyes

improved to 3-0 all-" me against the Cowboys.

Wyoming scored the fi rst points of the game on a Cooper

Rothe 49-yard fi eld goal. The Cowboys forced four Hawkeye

turnovers, however the fi eld goal was the only points of the

day the Iowa defense surrendered.

Iowa closed the half with touchdown passes of two and 27

yards from QB Nate Stanley to TE Noah Fant.

Stanley threw his third touchdown in the third period,

connec" ng with WR Nick Easley on a 45-yard strike to

extend Iowa’s advantage to 21-3. Easley fi nished the game

with a game-best 77 catches on four recep" ons.

Miguel Recinos split the uprights from 44 yards in the

fourth quarter.

Stanley’s three touchdown passes are the most by a

Hawkeye in a season opener since Drew Tate had six against

Montana in 2006. The sophomore signal caller fi nished the

contest comple" ng 8-of-15 passes for 125 yards.

RB Akrum Wadley rushed 24 " mes for a game-high 116

yards. The senior tailback topped the 100-yard rushing

plateau for the 10th " me in his career. Wadley is the second

player in the Kirk Ferentz era to rush for 100-plus yards in

back-to-back season openers (Fred Russell, 2002-03).

Iowa’s defense held Wyoming to 233 total yards, including

59 yards rushing, sacked quarterback Josh Allen seven

" mes, and intercepted him twice. CB Josh Jackson and DL

Brady Reiff each recorded their fi rst career intercep" ons in

the fourth quarter. Wyoming did not run a single play in the

red zone and was just six of 20 on third and fourth down

conversion a$ empts.

Iowa’s linebacking trio of Josey Jewell, Ben Niemann, and

Bo Bower combined for 38 tackles. Niemann’s 13 stops

are a career high, while Jewell had a game-best 14 tackles,

including two sacks, and Bower had 11. Jewell was named

Walter Camp na" onal and Big Ten Conference Defensive

Player of the Week for his eff orts.

Iowa used nine fi rst-" me starters in the season opener, six

on off ense and three on defense.

GAME RECAP

A 1-yard touchdown run in over! me by Northwestern QB

Clayton Thorson was the diff erence in a 17-10 Iowa loss at

Ryan Field in Evanston, Illinois.

Just before hal# ime, the Hawkeyes broke a scoreless ! e

when QB Nate Stanley connected with TE Noah Fant on a

7-yard TD recep! on. A Stanley to WR Ma$ VandeBerg career-

long 61-yard recep! on on the fi rst play of the drive set the

table for the only scoring of the fi rst half. The Fant touchdown

marked the fi rst ! me in seven games that Iowa scored the fi rst

GAME RECAP

Iowa safety Amani Hooker returned an intercep! on 30

yards on the fi rst play from scrimmage to ignite an off ensive

explosion by the Hawkeyes in a 55-24 rout over third-

ranked Ohio State in Kinnick Stadium. The win garnered the

Hawkeyes FWAA Na! onal Team of the Week honors.

The 55 points and 31-point margin of victory are the most

ever by Iowa in the 65-game series against Ohio State, and

largest margin of victory over an AP-Top 5 opponent in

school history. The win also made Iowa bowl eligible for the

16th ! me in the last 17 seasons.

Nate Stanley ! ed a Kinnick Stadium single-game record

with fi ve touchdown passes, tying Chuck Long (1985)

and Fred Riddle (1963). Stanley also became the fi rst

quarterback in the country to throw for fi ve touchdowns

and no intercep! ons against the Buckeyes over the last

20 years. The sophomore signal caller completed 20-of-31

passes for 226 yards. Four of Stanley’s touchdown throws

went to ! ght ends and the fi $ h to a fullback covering 2, 2,

3, 10, and 25 yards. Stanley was named the Manning Award

na! onal Quarterback of the Week.

TE Noah Fant caught four passes for 54 yards and two

scores, while TE T.J. Hockensen had a team-high fi ve

recep! ons for 71 yards and two touchdowns. FB Drake

Kulick caught Iowa’s fi $ h touchdown pass, the fi rst of his

career, in the fourth quarter.

Iowa’s defense was stout, limi! ng the Buckeyes to 371 yards

of total off ense (200 yards below their season average), 24

points (22 points below their season average), and collec! ng

four intercep! ons. CB Josh Jackson accounted for three of the

four picks, tying Grant Steen and Tyler Sash for the most in

Iowa single-game history. Jackson’s eff orts earned the junior

Walter Camp Na! onal Defensive Player of the Week and Big

Ten Co-Defensive Player of the Week accolades.

LB Josey Jewell led the team with 11 tackles and one pass

breakup in the end zone.

RB Akrum Wadley rushed a game-high 20 ! mes for 118

yards, marking his 13th career 100-yard rushing game. He

added 40 yards receiving on three catches. RB James Butler

! ed his season high with 74 yards rushing on 10 carries.

GAME RECAP

No. 6 Wisconsin posted a 38-14 victory over No. 25 Iowa

The Badgers outgained the Hawkeyes 382 to 66 yards in

total off ense en route to clinching the Big Ten West Division.

Iowa’s off ense was only able to move the chains fi ve $ mes

and rushed for a season-low 25 yards. The game featured

seven turnovers; four by Wisconsin and three by Iowa.

possession of the second half. Jackson returned his second

intercep$ on of the game 52 yards to cut the Iowa defi cit to

17-14 with 11:18 remaining in the third quarter. The Badgers

closed out the game by adding three touchdowns.

Iowa’s defense collected four takeaways (three intercep-

$ ons, one fumble) with Jackson being involved in three of

the four. In addi$ on to the two intercep$ ons, Jackson forced

his fi rst career fumble. Jackson is the fi rst Hawkeye to return

two intercep$ ons for touchdowns in a Big Ten game. The

intercep$ ons were Jackson’s sixth and seventh of the season,

tying for fourth among the program’s single-season leaders.

FS Jake Gervase was responsible for the third intercep$ on,

collec$ ng his second intercep$ on of the season in the fi rst

period.

LB Josey Jewell had a game-high 12 tackles, marking his

GAME RECAP

Purdue scored two touchdowns in the opening four min-

utes of the third quarter to record a 24-15 win over Iowa on

with wind gusts of 20-25 mph.

Purdue scored the only points in the fi rst quarter on its

opening drive, capping a 67-yard drive with a fi ve-yard scor-

ing strike from Elijah Sindelar to D.J. Knox. The scoring drive

was aided by a roughing the punter penalty on the Hawkeyes.

Iowa scored its fi rst points in the second quarter, as senior

defensive tackle Nathan Bazata sacked Sindelar in the end

Iowa took over on at the 50 following the safety, and

promptly drove to the end zone to take a 9-7 advantage that

would carry into hal# ime.

Senior RB Akrum Wadley scored on a two-yard run, as he

gained 28 of the 50 yards on the drive. A key play for the

to WR Ma$ VandeBerg on a fourth down coversion.

Purdue took control early in the third quarter, scoring on

a 42-yard strike from Sindelar to Anthony Mahoungou less

than one minute into the period. Following an Iowa three-

and-out, the Sindelar to Mahoungou combina! on struck for

a 16-yard touchdown to give the Boilers a 21-9 advantage.

Iowa’s off ense drove to the Purdue 42 early in the fourth

period, but an intercep! on off a ! pped pass stopped the

drive.

Purdue scored its fi nal points on a J.D. Dellinger fi eld goal

a# er the Boilermakers recovered an Iowa fumble on a punt

return at the Iowa 16 yard line.

Freshman Ihmir Smith-Marse$ e gave Iowa a li# with a

53-yard kickoff return, and the Hawkeyes concluded the

drive with a fourth down conversion as Stanley completed a

six-yard scoring strike to TE Noah Fant.
