No. 3, 1990 - Iowa 45, Iowa State 35
Danan Hughes, Nick Bell and company put up big points on the Cyclones in Kinnick Stadium as the Hawks improved their season record to 2-0 after a 63-10 trouncing of Cincinnati in the opener.
Merton Hanks captained the defense that would lead Iowa to an 8-3 (6-2 in the Big Ten) record and a Rose Bowl berth against Mark Brunell and the Washington Huskies.
No. 2, 2008 - Iowa 17, Iowa State 5
It was a sloppy, disgusting day and the football reflected that.
Iowa led 3-0 at halftime, and the game went into the fourth quarter tied, 3-3. Ricky Stanzi and Jake Christensen continued to ride the quarterback carousel as head coach Kirk Ferentz remained undecided on a weekly starter.
But behind Shonn Greene's 123 yard, one touchdown-performance and a huge punt return touchodown by Andy Brodell, the Hawks prevailed in Iowa City to regain possession of the Cy-Hawk Trophy.
No. 1, 2003 - Iowa 40, Iowa State 21
This was an obvious choice.
It was Kirk Ferentz's first win against the Cyclones after starting out 0-4. It ended a five game losing streak in the series for the Hawkeyes. Until today, it was his only win in Ames.
The Hawkeyes were led by quarterback Nathan Chandler's 72 passing yards and 53 rushing yards. Fred Russell added 87 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
Iowa's defense, however, was the story of the game.
Chad Greenway had 17 tackles, Abdul Hodge added 15 - including three tackles for loss - and a forced fumble. Matt Roth also had three tackles for loss and a sack. Grant Steen had an interception and a fumble recovery on top of six tackles as the Hawkeyes harassed Cyclone quarterback Austin Flynn all day.
