What do the top 25 passing seasons in Hawkeyes history look like? Here’s the best passing seasons in Iowa’s black and gold. — hawkeyeswire.usatoday.com
While Iowa Hawkeyes football may be synonymous with its stout defense and punishing ground game, it's not always been a run-first affair. Scattered among the memories of powerful backs and stingy D-lines reside seasons where the airwaves sang with the symphony of crisp throws and soaring receptions. Let's embark on a journey through the annals of Hawkeye history, unearthing the seasons where Iowa took to the skies with the best of them.
1985: Chuck's Cannon Barrage: The air crackled with electricity in Kinnick Stadium as Chuck Long, affectionately known as "Chuck Strong," unleashed his cannon arm. Long amassed a then-school record 3,689 yards, dissecting defenses with pinpoint accuracy. This offensive explosion propelled the Hawkeyes to a 10-1 record, a Big Ten Championship, and a Rose Bowl appearance, cementing 1985 as the dawn of the golden age of Hawkeye passing.
2002-2004: The Brad Banks Era: Brad Banks, the "Golden Bantam," wasn't just a quarterback; he was a conductor, orchestrating an offensive masterpiece. In back-to-back seasons, Banks surpassed the 3,000-yard mark, leading the Hawkeyes to three consecutive top-10 finishes. His pinpoint throws to receivers like Robert Gallery and Jermaine Lewis painted breathtaking aerial portraits, etching his name into Hawkeye lore as one of the best passers the program has ever seen.
2019: Stanley Takes Flight: After years of a conservative approach, Nate Stanley finally unleashed the offensive dam. Stanley rewrote the record books, shattering 27 school records, including a single-season mark of 3,109 yards. His potent connections with T.J. Hockenson and Brandon Smith had Hawkeye fans chanting "Big Nate!" with newfound enthusiasm, proving that Iowa could win through the air just as effectively as on the ground.
These seasons weren't just statistical anomalies; they were cultural shifts. They showed that the Hawkeyes could embrace the vertical game without sacrificing their defensive identity. They proved that Iowa quarterbacks could sling it with the best, silencing critics and rewriting narratives.
Michigan State Spartans Football Jersey & Helmet History
View the Michigan State football history told through the changing styles of the Michigan State football jersey and Michigan State football helmet. — www.spartanjerseys.com
From the humble beginnings of canvas pants and leather helmets to the sleek Nike Vapor F.U.S.E. of today, the Michigan State Spartans football uniform has undergone a fascinating evolution, mirroring the changing landscape of both the game and the university itself.
Early Days (1896-1949): The early years were marked by simplicity and tradition. Crimson and white dominated, with players donning canvas or wool pants, striped socks, and leather helmets adorned with the iconic Spartan "S." This classic look, reminiscent of college football's golden age, reflected the program's roots in amateur athletics.
The Duffy Daugherty Era (1950-1966): Under legendary coach Duffy Daugherty, green crept into the color scheme, symbolizing the team's newfound fighting spirit. Helmets sported green stripes and the "S" became bolder, embodying Daugherty's aggressive "run-and-shoot" offense. This era also saw the introduction of iconic uniforms like the "Silver Jerseys" worn for the 1965 national championship victory.
Modernization and Experimentation (1967-Present): The late 1960s and 70s saw a parade of uniform changes, with white helmets, green pants, and even alternate jerseys making appearances. This period reflected the changing times in college football, as teams sought to adapt their look to a more televised era. Some changes, like the 1978-82 all-green uniforms, faced mixed reactions, while others, like the 1995 return to the classic Spartan helmet, were met with resounding approval.
The Nike Era (1997-Present): Since partnering with Nike in 1997, the Spartans' uniforms have embraced performance technology while maintaining key elements of tradition. The iconic green and white color scheme remains central, along with the "S" logo. However, Nike has introduced subtle tweaks, like adding grey and bronze accents, enhancing flexibility and moisture-wicking capabilities. Special edition uniforms honoring Spartans legends or significant anniversaries have also become a feature, showcasing the program's rich history.

COLLEGE HOF | ‣
Walter Eckersall
Born June 17, 1886, in Chicago, Illinois, was the University of Chicago quarterback of the 1903 to 1906 era, Walter Eckersall. Walter played for legendary Maroon Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg at the University of Chicago.
Walter was a quick and very elusive runner and an exceptional kicker. It was his coffin-corner punts which were credited as the death-blows to Michigan's 56-game winning streak when the Maroons downed the Wolverines, 2-0, in 1905. Eckersall made quite an impression on a young Knute Rockne, as he was one of the future coaches gridiron heroes growing up that gave him inspiration. "The first time I learned a football was not only something to kick, but something to think with, was when I saw a great football player in action for the first time." said Rockne according to the FootballFoundation.org when reminiscing of observing Eckersall.
Rockne had seen the great Chicago quarterback playing in a high school all-star game in 1900. A decade or two later, after Rockne became the head coach at Notre Dame, Knute discovered Eckersall was scheduled to officiate an Irish game in Chicago. "I've been waiting years for this," Rockne said to Eckersall. "For what?" Eckersall wanted to know. "To shake your hand.", Rockne blurted, quick to relay his memories of that high school all-star game so many years before. "Stop! Stop!", Eckersall interrupted, "Or Notre Dame will be penalized five yards for speech making." Rockne enjoyed recanting that story of meeting his childhood icon for the rest of his life. The legendary Walter Camp even selected Eckersall as the QB on the All-Time All- American Football Team that honored the players from the first 3 to four decades of football. Walter Eckersall was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1951 for his outstanding play as a quarterback. Our friend author Jennifer Taylor Hall who wrote her amazing book Amos Alonzo Stagg: College Football's Man in Motion, shares in her chapter on "Eckie" that after Walter's playing days, the former QB officiated football, was a sports writer for the Chicago Tribune and often was a publicist for Knute Rockne.

A look at Foreman Field
Foreman Field, perched on the edge of the East Campus of Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, is more than just a stadium. It's a hallowed ground, a witness to history, and the beating heart of Monarchs football. Its story resonates with triumph, transformation, and the unyielding spirit of the ODU community.
Early Days and Gridiron Beginnings (1936-1961):
Initially christened "Norfolk Stadium," the venue opened in 1936 with the University of Virginia facing the College of William & Mary's Norfolk Division (later ODU).
The iconic clam-shell style stands, featuring unique curved concrete sections, provided a distinctive atmosphere and capacity for 18,000 spectators.
Foreman Field hosted football, lacrosse, and field hockey throughout the years, witnessing prominent matchups with local rivals and regional powerhouses.
Farewell to Football and Transformation (1962-2009):
With ODU's football program ending in 1961, Foreman Field fell into disuse. The stadium underwent various renovations, focusing on baseball, field hockey, and other collegiate sports.
The aging clam-shell stands presented structural concerns, ultimately leading to their demolition in 2007.
Rebirth and Rise of the Monarchs (2010-Present):
ODU's triumphant return to football in 2010 sparked a new chapter for Foreman Field. A massive $65 million reconstruction project replaced the demolished stands with a modern, 21,944-seat bowl configuration.
The rechristened "S.B. Ballard Stadium at Foreman Field" (in honor of a major donor) welcomed the Monarchs faithful back in 2019.
The roar of the crowd echoing through the stands has become a familiar soundtrack on Saturdays, as ODU battles for Sun Belt Conference honors and beyond.
