Iowa football: Where members of the 2010 Orange Bowl champions are today

It’s been nearly ten years since the Iowa football program won their most important bowl game in the Kirk Ferentz era. With Ricky Stanzi under center, the Hawks went on a run to begin the season starting with eight straight wins. In fact, the closest game they had during that run was actually a 17-16 victory over the Northern Iowa Panthers who somehow had two game-winning field goal attempts blocked.

The Hawks would rise to as high 7th in the country after that eighth win before they would suffer a loss to the Northwestern Wildcats. The Wildcats knocked star quarterback Stanzi out early in the game and backup James Vandenberg couldn’t get the offense moving.
