The 2003 Iowa Hawkeyes football team represented the University of Iowa during the 2003 NCAA Division I-A football season . Following a 2002 season that saw the Hawkeyes finish 11–2 with a Big Ten Conference championship, expectations for a third straight bowl game were well warranted.[ 3] offensive starters and seven defensive starters returning from the 2002 season, the Hawkeyes looked to be a primarily defensive team going into the season.[ 3]
The Hawkeyes opened the season strong, winning games over Miami (OH) , Buffalo , Iowa State and Arizona State en route to a 4–0 record.[ 4] East Lansing , Michigan for their Big Ten opener.[ 5] Michigan State Spartans team that had just beaten Notre Dame a week earlier, the Hawkeyes turned the ball over four times and committed ten penalties in a 20–10 loss.[ 5] Michigan next up on the schedule, things would get no easier for the Hawkeyes. Before the game, Michigan held a 37–9–4 lead in the series between the two teams.[ 6]
Down by 14 in the first quarter for the second straight game,[ 7] [ 8] Ohio State , but followed with home wins over Illinois and Penn State . With a loss to Purdue , Iowa's record was 7–3 with two regular season games remaining.[ 4] Minnesota and the Big Ten 's top-ranked offense, the Hawkeyes scored 33 points before the Gophers scored a touchdown .[ 9]
Following the 40–22 victory, the Hawkeyes fell behind unranked Wisconsin 21–7 during the second quarter. Needing a pass deflection in the end zone by Sean Considine with no time remaining, the Hawkeyes scored 20 straight points and escaped with a 27–21 win and a 9–3 regular season record.[ 10] 2004 Outback Bowl on January 1, 2004, the Hawkeyes won their first game in the state of Florida with a 37–17 victory over the Florida Gators . The win was also Iowa's first in the month of January since 1959.[ 11]
Behind strong performances by quarterback Brad Banks , who finished second in the Heisman voting,[ 12] [ 3] Ohio State .[ 13] Ann Arbor was Michigan's worst home loss since 1967.[ 14] Southern California , the eleven victories remained the single-season school record (tied by the 2009 Hawkeyes ) [ 1] [ 15]
