Hawkeye A Season to Remember

Football fever has returned to Iowa City. In the 1980s and 90s, legendary coach Hayden Fry carried his Iowa Hawkeyes from the ranks of also-rans to a position of national prominence. After he left, the team went into a rebuilding mode under new head coach Kirk Ferentz, Fry's assistant for nine seasons. In 2002, after the team lost 18 of its first 20 games under Ferentz, the Hawkeyes returned to their winning ways. Joining other great Hawkeye teams of '85, '87 and '91, the 2002 Iowa football team has done it with guts, determination, and a belief that they could be the best. Hawkeyes 2002: A Season to Remember takes readers game-by-game through this triumphant campaign, from the season-opening romp over Akron to the final game at Minnesota. Also included are profiles on Ferentz, quarterback Brad Banks, running back Fred Russell, defensive tackle Colin Cole, and other stars of the team.Sport Publishing Staff is the author of 'Hawkeye A Season to Remember' with ISBN 9781582616667 and ISBN 1582616663.
