On October 3, 1914, the Hawkeyes defeated Iowa State Teachers by a 95â0 score. The Des Moines Register called it "a farcical game" in which Iowa's first, second, and third teams "scored at will, usually on the first play." Halfback Charles Parsons led the scoring with four touchdowns and six extra points.[4] It remains the largest margin of victory in Iowa football history.[5][2]
End Arthur Gunderson was the team captain.[6] The team played its home games at Iowa Field in Iowa City, Iowa.
