2002 Iowa vs. Northwestern

Iowa sent its seniors out in style as it defeated Northwestern 62-10, in their final game at Kinnick Stadium.

The defense held Northwestern to 298 yards total offense and collected three interceptions. Iowa's special teams tallied 144 yards in punt and kickoff returns, including one punt return for a score.
Iowa jumped out to a quick 14-point lead in the first five minutes after a seven-yard touchdown run by RB Jermelle Lewis and a 40-yard scoring pass from QB Brad Banks to WR Maurice Brown. Banks added touchdown runs of nine and 19 yards and also connected with Brown for a 65 yard score. The Hawkeyes led 35-10 at halftime en route to their 52-point win. The 62 points is the most points scored under Coach Ferentz.
All the points scored in the second half were by Iowa, beginning with Ed Hinkel's 58-yard punt return for a score. TE Dallas Clark caught a 28-yard pass, while WR C.J. Jones tallied a 22-yard touchdown reception from QB Nathan Chandler. RB Marcus Schnoor closed the scoring with a five-yard touchdown run.
Banks led Iowa, completing 10-10 passes for 197 yards and three touchdowns. He also rushed five times for 54 yards and two touchdowns. Brown caught four passes for 129 yards and two touchdowns, all in the first half. RB Fred Russell rushed 17 times for 100 yards to lead Iowa's running backs as he surpassed 1000 yards for the season.
Defensively, LB Fred Barr (13) and Jared Clauss (9) led the Hawkeyes in tackles. Senior FS Scott Boleyn collected his first and second career interceptions, while DE Jonathon Babineaux recorded Iowa's other theft. DE Matt Roth registered his team-leading eighth sack.

Seeing that Offensive Line curtain call all these years later, the chills are going down my spine all over again.

Wish we had a team like this. Easily my fav QB &RB duo that the Hawks have ever had... Fred Russell, and Brad Banks.

Brad Banks without a helmet looked like Bobby Shmurda lol

[@randywollin5732]

Jazz Patterson kind of reminds me of little Freddy Russell. He has that burst off the line but he doesn't have Gallery and those other studs opening holes for him. But maybe this year. I hope for those guys to have a great season and maybe get a chance to get even with Tennessee with a win. That would be great.maybe we could belittle them the way they did our guys.

Kirk should have sat Kyle McCann the year before this and let banks play imagine what he would have been if this would have been his second year starting

[@FrantzPartyof3]

it still pisses me of that we lost to iowa state earlier in the season.

[@stephaniedoan7114]

Come on rush the field

[@hairtrigger8317]

Makes me kind of sad tbh because our defense has been so good most years since but the offense has rarely ever been close to what this seasons offense was. Put this offense with this seasons defense and holy fk it would be so good.

[@gohawkeyes529]

If you put this offense with this season's team you'd have every armchair offensive coordinator working his cheeto fingers on the internet about how we need to update our schemes or some other idiotic thing.
