From the Publisher:

Kinnick and Karras, Jeter and Jones, Anderson and Evashevski, Fry and Ferentz--these are some of the icons of Iowa Hawkeyes football. For more than 100 years the rugged men in black and gold have been dominant rulers of the college football gridiron. Beginning with Howard Jones's great teams from 1916 to 1923, the Hawkeyes built a cornerstone for Iowa's great football legacy. In the late 1930s, Eddie Anderson's Ironmen, who were led by Heisman Trophy--winner Nile Kinnick, dominated the Midwest. Later in the 1950s, Forest Evashevski's Hawkeyes dominated the Big Ten, winning a pair of Rose Bowls and the 1958 national championship. In 1979 Hayden Fry arrived in Iowa City and quickly returned the Hawkeyes to glory by winning three Big Ten crowns and earning three trips to the Rose Bowl over 12 seasons. And now Kirk Ferentz has led Iowa to four straight January bowl games, one of only four teams in the nation to have done so.
