The2005Universityof Iowa football season ran thegamutofemotions.Therewereplentyofreasonsforhappinessandseveralfordisappointmentduring the Hawkeye campaign. At the conclusion of the season theHawkeyesfinishedasoneofonlyfourteamsinthenationtohaveplayedinJanuarybowlgamesthelastfouryears.

TheHawkeyesendedthe2005campaignwitha7-5recordandinathirdplace tie in the Big Ten standings. A pair of heartbreaking, last minutelossestoMichiganandNorthwesternseparatedIowafromatleastapieceofitsthirdBigTentitleinfouryears.

An appearance in the 2006Outback Bowl put the HawkeyesalongsideSouthernCal,Georgiaand Florida State as the onlyteams with a current stringof four straight January Bowlappearances.Iowa’s25conferencewins during that period ties ateambestandhasbeenbetteredby no other Big Ten team overthe last four years. A total of 38wins over the last four years (9.5average) ranks with the nation’sbest.

The last four years have beenunprecedented in Iowa footballhistory.It’sresultedintwoBigTenchampionships (2002 & 2004),four January bowl games andthree finishes in the nation’s topten. A 22-game home winningstreak (broken in 2005) and17 straight home sellouts areadditionalpositivesofaprogramon the move. A pair of Januarybowl wins over highly regardedteams from the SoutheasternConference(Florida&LSU)istwomore notches on the Hawkeyewinbelt.
