Week 1: The experience of college football in Iowa City is pretty special. Thanks to friends and family that came out to see Mark’s first game at Iowa. Winning his 50th game as a D1 QB is a blessing. No matter what the stats are, winning is the goal & the Hawkeye’s are now 1-0.

Week 8: Memories were made w/ Iowa vs Penn St. It was electric at Kinnick with the fans engaged in every play. Absolutely thrilled with the come from behind victory. I imagined Mark would do it with his arm, not his legs but winning is what it’s about. Mark finds a way to win.

Week 2: Rival games are always a grind & the Iowa Super Bowl (Iowa vs Iowa State) was no different. Extremely disappointing when you lose a close one but in this rivalry, it’s not a conference game. Plenty yet to accomplish in the season.Thanks to friends that joined the journey.

Week 5: Very emotional loss to #11 Indiana for multiple reason but even in a loss we continue to be proud to be a part of this Hawkeye Family. The support of family, friends and fans is appreciated. Hawks are now 3-2 with time to reset during the bye week.

Week 7: There is a saying, “play each play like it’s your last.” After the last game we didn’t know when the next one would come. For Mark to return after 2 weeks was both a blessing and with reservation. This decisive win over WI should leave no doubt to the team’s ability.

Week 11: #20 Iowa in the CFP rankings needed a win vs #9 Oregon to keep playoff hopes alive. With rain & cold temps, conditions were not pleasant. After completing a 93 yard drive that appeared to be the winning TD, Oregon kicked a FG with :07 left. Heartbreaking loss

Week 8: The Marker Game vs NDSU was a very physical battle between two fierce rivals. SDSU’s 19 consecutive wins in the MVFC was broken. While disappointed in the loss the Jacks are still focused on the main goal. I believe we will see NDSU in the playoffs for a rematch.
