The 1907 Iowa Hawkeyes football team was an American football team that represented the University of Iowa as a member of both the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) and the Western Conference (later renamed the Big Ten Conference) during the 1907 college football season. In their second year under head coach Mark Catlin Sr., the Hawkeyes compiled a 3–2 record and outscored opponents by a total of 90 to 48. [1] [2]

Contents

Iowa had been a member of the Western Conference since 1900. In 1907, a new conference, the MVC, was formed, and Iowa elected to join that conference as well. The Hawkeyes won their only MVC game in 1907, defeating Missouri which resulted in a tie with Nebraska for the inaugural MVC championship. The Hawkeyes remained a member of the Western Conference in 1907, finishing in fourth place with a 1–1 record in conference games.

End Roy A. White was the team captain. [3] Quarterback Walter "Stub" Stewart was later inducted into the Iowa Varsity Club Hall of Fame. [4]

The team played its home games at Iowa Field in Iowa City, Iowa.
