NO! Very very close though.
Ugh, I've been slowly making my way through old games and am about a third of the way through 2000, that's why it stuck in my head. D'oh.

2000 at home vs. Iowa was a sneaky close game. Ended up 42-13, but we scored 2 TDs in the last couple minutes (the last one being a Troy Watchorn Pick 6), plus a pseudo-Hail Mary to end the first half (for some reason Iowa did a CB blitz when all they had to do was keep a pass from being caught, and we ended up with better numbers near the goalline). 5 offensive TDs for the Big Red that day, all passing TDs.

1999 was also a close game for much of the afternoon, just 7-0 NU at the half. Then we poured it on.

Those were the early Ferentz days, and they had depth issues.

That was the game ('99) when Crouch ran over a Iowa DB on his way to a touchdown. Great classic play for No. 7.

BINGO! Iowa City in '99. Good job.
I was at that game. Super hot day. Had a football game at blue hill the night before and drove through the night to get there. Took my 6 months old daughter.... didn't realize infants needed their own ticket. Had to buy one there as they wouldn't let us in. We were able to buy an unused student ticket.
