1994

All-American Tim Dwight

Quarterback injuries plagued the Hawks throughout the 1994 season.

October 8
Starting QB Ryan Driscoll suffered a broken collarbone in the second quarter against Indiana and was lost for the season. Iowa lost the game, too, 27-20.

October 15
At Illinois, third-team QB Mike Duprey started for the Hawkeyes as Ryan Driscoll and Matt Sherman were both injured. Duprey left the game in the second half with an injury and Corby Smith suffered a sprained ankle, leaving Jefferson Bates as Iowa’s only QB. Illinois clobbered Iowa, 47-7.

October 29
Things began looking up in the QB department, when redshirt freshman quarterback Matt Sherman sparked the Hawks to rally from a 13-0 deficit by scoring three touchdowns in the fourth quarter. The Boilermakers missed a potential game-winning field goal in the final minute to leave the game tied, 21-21.

Have you heard of Arena Football? Lots of passing and pizzazz—even fireworks. Well, that’s what it looked like when Iowa and Minnesota combined for 1,000 total yards and 13 touchdowns in a game that ended with the Hawkeyes on top, 49-42. It was Matt Sherman’s first career start. Hometown phenom and Hawkeye wide receiver Tim Dwight might have made one of the most surprising plays during the game, when he flipped a pass to quarterback Sherman for the touchdown. Offense is exciting, and this time it won the game.
