Last season, the Hawkeye football team took us to a place that hasn’t happened since 1922; an undefeated football season.
The Hawks also went undefeated in 1921.
A lot of things fell into place, like Marshall Koehn’s 57-yard field goal as time ran out against Pittsburgh. Iowa won, 27-24.
How about Nate Meier knocking the Nebraska offensive guard back to step on the quarterback, who tripped and fumbled. Faith Ekakitie recovered on the Iowa 4-yard line. The Hawks won, 10-6.

NORTH LIBERTY– The Game Time League started July 6 and all of Iowa’s freshmen basketball players are not only playing, but looking good.
The Hawkeyes’ incoming class, ranked seventh in the nation, possesses a combination of size, shooters and ball handlers.
Start with Makenzie Meyer, a 5-10 guard from Mason City who was named 2016 Iowa Miss Basketball.
Meyer helped Mason City to their first-ever state championship in girls basketball in 2016.
She was a four-time all-conference pick and a three-time all-state selection.

This is the second part of a two-part story on Iowa’s three seniors.
Last week, I talked about Alexa, who led the Hawkeyes in 3-pointers, and Ally, who was second team All-Big Ten last season.

This week, I’ll finish up with Ally and talk about Hailey Schneden, who was a walk-on and earned a scholarship.
Ally has had a really good career for the Hawkeyes and the good news is she has a year left.
As good as Ally is in college, she had an even better career playing for the West High Trojans.
