This was a phenomenal Iowa team that is probably the best clutch team I'd ever seen. This is a team that managed to go from getting blown out by Indiana to blowing out Indiana in just one quarter. This team also toppled a phenomenal Penn State team and took Ohio State to overtime with their backup QB. Close wins over Northern Iowa and Arkansas State had pollsters not respecting the Hawkeyes but ultimately that didn't matter as this team showed how good they are and almost were playing for the national title. I noticed a lot of similarities to the 1986 Penn State team that was given close games by a couple bad teams but ultimately beat Miami in the Fiesta Bowl for the national title.
I miss these days, back when Iowa was a national threat. 5 years later and there is still no one like Ricky Stanzi or Tony Moaki. PS: The "Love or leave it" statement has gone down in Iowa football history lore, haha.
***** Yeah, pretty glad about it. We can go 12-0 if we can beat Nebraska. I believe we will. Then Ohio St. or Michigan in the Big Ten Title game. I believe for sure, but hoping they finish strong.
***** If we go 12-0 and beat Ohio St. we will be in the Final Four playoffs!! But hey, if we lose to Ohio St., the Rose Bowl will take us most-likely. I'd love to pound some Pac 12 teams down, I really believe in the strength of the Big Ten this year. Heck, Northwestern beat Stanford.
Hit the Yellow Jackets and their vaunted "triple-option" offense right in the mouth! The late Norm Parker had executed the perfect game plan to stop Dweyer and Nesbitt and Adrian Clayborn was a one-man wrecking crew! Was stacked offensively as we could be. Wish Wegher & Robinson would have played out their careers at Iowa! They both were good players!
Gary Dolphin was recently on an episode of the Washed Up Walk-on’s podcast and told the story that leading up to this game, Norm dug through his old game notes from the 1970s to find the defensive plays that helped the high school team he was coaching at the time stop the same offense that Tech was running.
Georgia Tech has had some superstar receivers play for them. DeMaryius Thomas and Calvin Johnson (Megatron)? Impressive for a team that played triple option most of the time!
I tell ya, I watched every game Iowa played that year and in the Orange Bowl they looked like a legitimate NFL defense. That's how good they looked and were prepared for that game. Excellent job by the players and coaching staff.
I was at this game. Not a fan of either team but love CFB. Was happy with the result. Met some nice Iowans before the game while tailgating and the Hawkeyes deserved to win.
Norm Parker was a defensive guru, i heard that they was interviewing him about how they was gonna stop the triple option and he said "triple option? We called that the wish bone offense in Texas"
I think the 2009 Hawkeyes were actually a better team then the 2015 Hawkeyes. In 2015 we just got really fortunate with our schedule really. Got embarrassed in the Rose Bowl
Aa JV 2009 was better, but way luckier too (excluding NW and tOSU games). Kirk’s best team ever was easily 2002. It just sucks this same 2009 team went 8-5 a year later with basically an identical roster.
@@Skylicity thing with the 2002 team was we blew out Michigan at the Big House and they nearly beat Ohio State at the horseshoe. Of course ohio state beat Miami and won the national championship. So yeah 2002 is the best modern Iowa team
I think this is my favorite youtube video lol. Maybe the best Iowa team in a loooong time. Look at the draft picks on this team..Stanzi, Moeaki, Bulaga, McNutt, and then basically the whole defense haha Clayborne, Binns, Angerer, Edds, Daniels, Prater, Sash and Reisner made a roster too. Somebody check my work
GO HAWKS LOVE YOU CHUCK LONG and i saw chuck long once at football camp i got dehydrated and chuck long came and put some ice on my neck and once i saw him i was like :O he's the reason why we were ranked #1 in 1985
Yep, I remember everybody was talking about the vaunted triple option GT offense and how hey were going to run up the score. I knew if our D played great we'd at the very least make it close. The first half stats for GT's offense was laughable, our D absolutely crushed them, if it wasn't for the pick 6 the game wouldn't have been as close as it seemed.
Don't forget Donahue, Vandervelde, Gettis, and yeah bascially the whole defence. Idk how we don't parlay our draft success to recruiting success, though I can't really complain; Kirk must go after guys who fit his system.
Hopefully Iowa can get through the season this coming year with Penn State, Wyoming, and Ohio State. It'll be a challenge but I'm happy they have those teams on the roster to toughen up and be ready for bowl games. Need to end the bowl game drought. I've been to Iowa vs Nebraska 3 years in a row. Loved that match up. Then I ended that tradition and went to see the hawkeyes make history by going 10-0 against Minnesota. Really hope to see them excel. It'll be interesting with a new qb and having a 5 star recruit come to Iowa for defense. Aj Epenesa O.o but now Iowa didn't get the receiver from Iowa that's the former NFL players kid. Warner.... Itll be fun to go watch I need to go watch them play Nebraska. Go hawks!
I miss watching that Iowa team.

Weve got some studs coming up later this year and I look for great things once we get rolling!
SWARM BABY! LETS GO HAWKS!
BLKNYLW BABY!
If you don't love it, leave it! USA, #1!
RIP Norm! His defensive plan was perfect. Cheers to Norm!
RIP to Kyle Calloway and Tyler Sash as well.
And DT as well
I was there as part of the Hawkeye Marching Band, and I am beyond thankful for being able to witness it. Go Hawks! USA #1!
Most complete Iowa team to ever take the field.
Yeah, a throwback offense doesn't go well against a defensive coordinator that was coaching back when the triple option was big.
I miss these days, back when Iowa was a national threat. 5 years later and there is still no one like Ricky Stanzi or Tony Moaki.

***** I hope so man, I hope so...
+JakeGraceAndGlory 10/0
***** Yeah they had to win respect back tho after last year. We've had some disaster seasons ...but I hope we are back.
***** Yeah, pretty glad about it. We can go 12-0 if we can beat Nebraska. I believe we will. Then Ohio St. or Michigan in the Big Ten Title game. I believe for sure, but hoping they finish strong.

I will never give up my ncca football 11 video game because it was the best season for the hawkeye

That get's a A+ from a Iowa state fan
Oh what could have been. Iowa had the goods to win it all in 09, but still was a nice season regardless.
"It's a cold one tonight. 50 degrees!" Hawks: Let's go sit on the porch.
Adam Robinson was such a great back and Ricki Stanzi was probably the best QB of in the last 20 years
Georgia Tech has had some superstar receivers play for them. DeMaryius Thomas and Calvin Johnson (Megatron)? Impressive for a team that played triple option most of the time!

"If you're a fan of option football, you will love tonight."
No, no you will not.
Lol perfect!
imagine if shonne greene would have came back and not went to the NFL that 2009 team could have easily wont the national title
Unfortunately, he probably wouldn't have been able to keep his grades up to play much more.
Travis Smith he had graduated... he was a redshirt
Imagine if we didn't lose DJK, Coker, Wegher, and Robinson. All 4 were going to be stars.

@@Skylicity Yeah 2010 is prbly the most disappointing Iowa team. Even more disappointing then 2006.

@@joebuck4957OSU and Iowa didn’t play in 2002
Thanks for doing this game. Great bowl win. USA #1!
Put; Pride, Power and Patriotism back n the USA and the Hawkeyes.

Oh how much we lost. DJK, Coker, Robinson, and Wegher. Every one of them were superstars in the making.
iowa needs a qb that isnt afraid to make mistakes. once we get that we will start winning again.
Joe Farrell Drew Tate...
@@HOWBAZARY I was a big fan of Drew Tate. He was tough, had an arm and decent legs and wasnt afraid to get dirty. Definitely a great QB at Iowa
Stanzi - "If you don't love it, leave it. USA number 1"
I truly believe that this team was going to the national championship if Stanzi didn't get injured

My Favorite Hawkeyes team.
All hail the mighty Black and Gold!!!
Don't forget Donahue, Vandervelde, Gettis, and yeah bascially the whole defence. Idk how we don't parlay our draft success to recruiting success, though I can't really complain; Kirk must go after guys who fit his system.
Nice call! They may get to one this year.
I had Andy Kuempel as a a coach in high school... 9:30 pretty cool he’s mentioned
I was at this game great experience was really fucking cold to go HAWKEYES
The only major bowl iowa has won since the 1959 rose bowl...
But GT, USC, Michigan, tOSU, PSU,.......has superior talent though.
I went to this game :) It was cold AF LOL
I was there too ,froze our asses off! Lol
iowa will get to a bowl next year with jake rudock!
Proud to say I was there
STANZI!!!
Let's Go Hawks!!
Binns wasnt drafted. Ballard and Klug were though.
iowa are winrs
I straight up don’t understand how every teach copies this. You stop a triple option team by, dare I say it committing 8 men to the run
we will start winning a gain
@hawkeyerecon Too bad McCall got hurt :(
Imagine if beathard had receivers like this... Stanzi is able to just throw 50-50 balls for touchdowns
Yeah lets hope somehow the receiving corps for this upcoming 2016 season will step up.
SnowyOwl yeah that didnt happen lol
+Christopher McSweeney HA!!!! You're not kidding! The receiving corps has been abysmal this year!
Hopefully Iowa can get through the season this coming year with Penn State, Wyoming, and Ohio State.

Itll be fun to go watch I need to go watch them play Nebraska. Go hawks!
Love it or leave it. Go Hawks
I was in Iraq during this game. 😂😮
go hawks
I don't think he was decent. And even though we don't really know what to do at QB, I think we'll have a good year this year because he is gone.
this is a test.
Hopefully rudocl can get us back to where we need to be JVB did not get it done...
