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.
