Iowa Head Coach Kirk Ferentz has been in Iowa City for a long time, and he recalls the last time Oregon came to Kinnick Stadium.
Hint: it did not go well for the Hawkeyes.
During the 1989 season, the Hawkeyes welcomed a relatively unknown Oregon squad to Kinnick Stadium and got blown out at home.
Oregon dominated the game from start to finish, earning a 44-6 win, and holding the Hawkeyes to only 26 total rushing yards.
Even though Ferentz was only the offensive line coach at the time, he vividly remembers how good Oregon was back then and knows they are better now.
