American college football season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1942 Iowa Hawkeyes football team was an American football team that represented the University of Iowa as a member of the Big Ten Conference during the 1942 Big Ten football season. In their fourth year under head coach Eddie Anderson, the Hawkeyes compiled a 6–4 record (3–3 in conference games), tied for fifth place in the Big Ten, and outscored opponents by a total of 147 to 135.[1] This was Anderson's last season during his first stint as head coach for the Hawkeyes, as he left the program for military service during World War II. Iowa was ranked at No. 26 (out of 590 college and military teams) in the final rankings under the Litkenhous Ratings released in December 1942.[2]
