Overview

  • Iowa’s 47-7 win over UMass delivered Ferentz his 206th victory, with QB Mark Gronowski accounting for three touchdowns and Kaden Wetjen tying a program record with a 95-yard punt return.
  • The milestone surpasses Ohio State legend Woody Hayes’ 205 wins for the most by a head coach while leading a Big Ten program.
  • Ferentz is 206-125 at Iowa and 218-146 overall as a head coach, now in his 27th season guiding the Hawkeyes.
  • Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti, Iowa AD Beth Goetz and players publicly praised the achievement, which the team celebrated with a Gatorade bath.
  • UMass DB T.J. Magee was hospitalized after a punt-return collision and was reported alert and moving his extremities; Iowa noted RB Kamari Moulton has a chance to return this week and RB Xavier Williams is sore with no break suspected ahead of Friday at Rutgers (Sept. 19).
