Kirk Ferentz teams have fi nished in the Associated Press top 10 on fi ve occasions, and in four of those seasons the Hawkeyes were led by a fi rst-year starter – Brad Banks in 2002, Nathan Chandler in 2003, Drew Tate in 2004, and C.J. Beathard in 2015.

Former Iowa head coach Hayden Fry compiled a 40-23-3 record from 1973-78 at North Texas. Fry le Denton, Texas, for Iowa City, Iowa, in 1979 and won 143 games as the Hawkeyes’ head coach from 1979-1998.

QB Nate Stanley established career highs in comple ons (27), a empts (41), yards (333), and touchdowns (5) in Week 2’s over me win at Iowa State. He is the fi rst Iowa quarterback with 300-plus passing yards and fi ve-plus touchdown passes since Chuck Hartlieb vs. Northwestern in 1987.

Iowa had four touchdown drives against Iowa State that traveled 89 yards or more (plays-yards: 10-91, 11-94, 11-92, 7-89), and another of 76 yards.

HAWKEYE HISTORY Iowa has played 1,222 games since beginning football in 1889. Iowa’s overall record is 635-548-39 (.535). That includes a 398-216-16 (.641) record in home games, a 237-332-23 (.418) record in games away from Iowa City, a 320-369-25 (.464) mark in Big Ten games and a 281-180-15 (.600) record in Kinnick Stadium.

A PLEASANT RESOLUTION TO THE CASE OF THE UNKNOWN QB Nate Stanley is the 14th quarterback to start a game under Kirk Ferentz. Since 1999, both of Kirk Ferentz’s Big Ten championships have been with a fi rst-year star ng quarterback. Brad Banks led Iowa to a share of the conference tle in 2002, and Drew Tate did the same in 2004. In 2015, fi rst-year starter C.J. Beathard was given the keys to the off ense and drove Iowa to the Big Ten championship game and Rose Bowl. Ferentz teams have also fi nished in the Associated Press top-10 on fi ve occasions, and in four of those seasons the Hawkeyes were led by a fi rst-year starter -- Banks in 2002, Nathan Chandler in 2003, Tate in 2004, and Beathard in 2015. WADLEY NAMED TO PAUL HORNUNG AWARD HONOR ROLL RB Akrum Wadley was named to the Paul Hornung Award Honor Roll following Iowa’s 44-41 over me win at Iowa State Saturday. Wadley is one of fi ve players na onally to earn the recogni on. The Hornung Award is presented annually by the Louisville Sports Commission to the most versa le player in major college football. Wadley accounted for 260 all-purpose yards against the Cyclones. He is averaging 203 all-purpose yards per game, second best in the Big Ten and fourth na onally. Wadley rushed for 118 yards and one touchdown on a career-best 28 a empts, and had four recep ons for 72 yards and one touchdown. He also added three kickoff returns for 70 yards. Wadley scored on a one-yard run to give Iowa a 21-10 advantage in the third quarter. He later hauled in a short pass from quarterback Nate Stanley and turned the play into a 46-yard scoring play that ed the game in the fi nal two minutes of the fourth quarter. That play ranks as Wadley’s longest career recep on. STANLEY NAMED B1G CO-OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK QB Nate Stanley was named Big Ten Conference co-Off ensive Player of the Week following Iowa’s 44-41 over me win at Iowa State on Sept. 9. He was also one of eight quarterbacks na onally named the Manning Award “Star of the Week”. Stanley completed 27-of-41 pass a empts for 333 yards and fi ve touchdowns, with no intercep ons. His scoring passes covered 10, 17, 15, 46 and 5 yards, as nine Hawkeyes had at least one recep on. Stanley led the Iowa off ense on four scoring drives of at least 89 yards. Iowa’s fi nal scoring drive in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter covered 89 yards in just seven plays as the Hawkeyes ed the game with 1:52 remaining. Stanley then completed 2-of-3 passes for 15 yards in over me, including the game-winning touchdown a er Iowa State had scored a fi eld goal on its over me possession. Stanley established career highs in comple ons (27), a empts (41), yards (333), and touchdowns (5). He has eight touchdown passes in his fi rst two career starts, more than any other quarterback in the Kirk Ferentz era. Stanley is only the second Big Ten quarterback in the last 20 years with 300-plus passing yards, fi ve-plus touchdown passes and no intercep ons in a road game. The Big Ten honor is the fi rst career honor for Stanley, and follows senior linebacker Josey Jewell being named conference defensive Player of the Week following Iowa’s opening win over Wyoming. C.J. Beathard, following Iowa’s win at Iowa State in 2015, is the most recent Iowa quarterback to earn the conference recogni on.

STANLEY MAKING HISTORY QB Nate Stanley has eight touchdown passes in his fi rst two career starts, more than any other quarterback in the Ferentz era. He threw three touchdowns in his fi rst career start Week 1. The last quarterback to do that was Ricky Stanzi (3, vs. Florida Atlan c in 2008). Since, 1999, the only other quarterback to throw three or more touchdowns in his fi rst career start under Ferentz was Jon Beutjer (4, at Indiana in 2000). Stanley threw for fi ve touchdowns and 333 yards against Iowa State in Week 2, becoming the fi rst Iowa quarterback with 300-plus passing yards and fi ve-plus touchdown passes since Chuck Hartlieb vs. Northwestern in 1987. Stanley is the fourth quarterback in the Ferentz era to make his fi rst true road start at Jack Trice Stadium. The others include Nathan Chandler (W, 40-21, in 2003), Jake Chris ansen (L, 15-13, in 2007), and Jake Ruddock (W, 27-21, in 2013). He fi nished the game with career highs in comple ons (27), a empts (41), yards (333), and touchdowns (5), and became only the second Big Ten quarterback in the last 20 years with 300-plus pass yards, fi ve-plus pass TDs and no intercep ons in a road game.

HAWKEYES RETURN NATION’S TOP OFFENSIVE LINE UNIT Seniors Ike Boe ger (LT, LG, RT), Boone Myers (LT, LG), and Sean Welsh (RG, RT); juniors James Daniels (C), Lucas LeGrand (C), and Keegan Render (LG, RG); and sophomore Levi Paulsen (RG) all started at least one game for an off ensive line that won the Joe Moore Award in 2016. The Joe Moore Award honors off ensive line units that display a high level of toughness, eff ort, teamwork, consistency, technique, and “fi nishing”. It is the only major college football award to honor a unit. The Hawkeyes were selected over na onal runner-up Alabama and third-ranked Ohio State. Iowa was selected by a vo ng commi ee comprised solely of people who played or coached the off ensive line posi on, including all of the current off ensive line coaches at the Division I/FBS level as well as former players, coaches and colleagues of Coach Moore, and select media. Iowa’s off ense averaged 171.8 rushing yards per game -- averaging 4.5 yards per carry, and more than two yards before contact -- and 325 yards total off ense per game.

TACKLE BY JOSEY JEWELL LB Josey Jewell leads the team and ranks third in the Big Ten with 21 tackles. He has led the team in tackles in each of the last two seasons (126 in 2015, 124 in 2016).

Jewell led Iowa with 14 tackles, including seven solo stops. His totals included two sacks, 2.5 tackles for loss, and one pass break-up.

Wyoming 0 3 0 0 -- 3Iowa 0 14 7 3 -- 24

GAME RECAPIowa scored the fi nal 24 points in a 24-3 season-opening

victory over Wyoming in Kinnick Stadium. The Hawkeyes improved to 3-0 all- me against the Cowboys.

Wyoming scored the fi rst points of the game on a Cooper Rothe 49-yard fi eld goal. The Cowboys forced four Hawkeye turnovers, however the fi eld goal was the only points of the day the Iowa defense surrendered.

Iowa closed the half with touchdown passes of two and 27 yards from QB Nate Stanley to TE Noah Fant.

Stanley threw his third touchdown in the third period, connec ng with WR Nick Easley on a 45-yard strike to extend Iowa’s advantage to 21-3. Easley fi nished the game with a game-best 77 catches on four recep ons.

Miguel Recinos split the uprights from 44 yards in the fourth quarter.

Stanley’s three touchdown passes are the most by a Hawkeye in a season opener since Drew Tate had six against Montana in 2006. The sophomore signal caller fi nished the contest comple ng 8-of-15 passes for 125 yards.

RB Akrum Wadley rushed 24 mes for a game-high 116 yards. The senior tailback topped the 100-yard rushing plateau for the 10th me in his career. Wadley is the second player in the Kirk Ferentz era to rush for 100-plus yards in back-to-back season openers (Fred Russell, 2002-03).

Iowa’s defense held Wyoming to 233 total yards, including 59 yards rushing, sacked quarterback Josh Allen seven mes, and intercepted him twice. CB Josh Jackson and DL

Brady Reiff each recorded their fi rst career intercep ons in the fourth quarter. Wyoming did not run a single play in the red zone and was just six of 20 on third and fourth down conversion a empts.

Iowa’s linebacking trio of Josey Jewell, Ben Niemann, and Bo Bower combined for 38 tackles. Niemann’s 13 stops are a career high, while Jewell had a game-best 14 tackles, including two sacks, and Bower had 11. Jewell was named Walter Camp na onal and Big Ten Conference Defensive Player of the Week for his eff orts.
