Senior Ethan Hurkett's time in Iowa City has been "better than expected"

While the season has not gone the way anyone hoped, for 28 seniors, Saturday will be the last time they get to play at Kinnick Stadium.

It will be an emotional game for all the seniors, their parents, and coaches as they are honored in front of a sold-out crowd at Kinnick Stadium.

This group of seniors is one of the tightest-knit groups Head Coach Kirk Ferentz has had because of how everything started.

This group of seniors were heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic limiting or completely cancelling their fianl year of high school football, or most of their freshmen year on campus.
