On November 5, 1910, Iowa defeated Iowa State by a 2–0 score, the only points being scored on a safety as Iowa State fumbled while trying to kick from behind its goal.[4] It remains the lowest scoring game in Iowa football history.[5]

Mike Hyland, who played at the end and fullback positions, was the team captain.[6] Playing at the tackle position from 1909 to 1911, Archie Alexander was the second African-American to play football at Iowa. (Frank Kinney Holbrook was the first.)[7]

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