LOS ANGELES -- At 24 years, senior wide receiver Jacob Hillyer and senior punter Dillon Kidd are the oldest members of the University of Iowa football team. Neither was born the last time the Hawkeyes played in the Rose Bowl Game on Jan. 1, 1991.
Still, there are eight members of the current UI team that have received an up-close and personal Hawkeye narrative of what it’s like to play in the Granddaddy of Them All…from their fathers.
Freshman Brandon Bishop, freshman Drew Cook, junior Cole Croston, junior Mitch Keppy, junior George Kittle, freshman Anthony Nelson, freshman Ryan Schmidt, and sophomore Peter Pekar all had fathers represent the Hawkeyes in a Rose Bowl Game.
