The 1907 Iowa Hawkeyes football team was an American football team that represented the State University of Iowa ("S.U.I."), now commonly known as the University of Iowa, as a member of the Western 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.
