The Hawkeyes, led by 12th year head coach Kirk Ferentz, were members of the Big Ten Conference and played their home games at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa. The Hawkeyes finished the regular season 7–5 (4–4 Big Ten) and earned a trip to the Insight Bowl, where they faced the Missouri Tigers. The Hawkeyes won the game 27–24 and finished the season 8–5. Preseason Iowa came off of an 11–2 season in 2009, in which they finished with a victory over Georgia Tech in the 2010 Orange Bowl and a final ranking of No. 7 in both major polls. Many players from the previous season returned, including Ricky Stanzi, Derrell Johnson-Koulianos, Marvin McNutt, Adrian Clayborn and Tyler Sash, which led to high expectations among Hawkeye fans. Iowa entered the season ranked 9th in the AP Poll and 10th in the Coaches' Poll.

Also scoring for Iowa was Paki O'Meara, who blocked an Eastern Illinois punt and returned it 42 yards. Trailing 21–0, Eastern Illinois' only points came on a second-quarter drive that included a fake punt and an 11-yard touchdown pass from Brandon Large to Von Wise. On the next possession, Stanzi took a tumble onto the turf and limped off to the sidelines, creating concern among the sellout crowd, but Robinson and backup James Vandenberg would lead them down the field for another score. Stanzi would later return.http://www.hawkeyesports.com/sports/m-footbl/recaps/090410aac.html University of Iowa Department of Athletics No. 9 Iowa is dominant in football season-opener, 37–7 September 4, 2010 September 8, 2010 Adam Robinson runs for 3 TDs as Ricky Stanzi keeps Iowa on track https://www.espn.com/college-football/recap?gameId=302472294 ESPN September 4, 2010 December 28, 2014July 2024 medicmedicStanzi, No. 9 Iowa just fine, roll over Eastern Illinois http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/gametracker/recap/NCAAF_20100904_EIL@IA CBS Sports September 4, 2010 December 28, 2014 Iowa State Iowa State 0 0 0 7 #9/9 Iowa 7 21 7 0 September 11 Kinnick Stadium, Iowa City, IA 2:36 p.m.http://www.hawkeyesports.com/sports/m-footbl/stats/2010-2011/iowa02.html Iowa/Iowa State Box Score University of Iowa Department of Athletics September 11, 2010 September 12, 2010 CDT 70,585 74 F (Partly Cloudy) Greg Burks Ron Franklin (Play-by-play) & Ed Cunningham (Color)http://www.hawkeyesports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/090610aag.html University of Iowa Department of Athletics Hawkeyes Will Host Iowa State Saturday September 6, 2010 September 12, 2010 ABC/ESPN2 Source: Box score yes 1 8:06 Iowa Marvin McNutt 9-yard pass from Ricky Stanzi (Trent Mossbrucker kick) Iowa 7–0 2 13:31 Iowa Jewel Hampton 2-yard run (Trent Mossbrucker kick) Iowa 14–0 2 10:02 Iowa Allen Reisner 2-yard pass from Ricky Stanzi (Trent Mossbrucker kick) Iowa 21–0 2 2:52 Iowa Ricky Stanzi 1-yard run (Trent Mossbrucker kick) Iowa 28–0 3 6:45 Iowa Adam Robinson 39-yard run (Trent Mossbrucker kick) Iowa 35–0 4 1:51 ISU Darius Darks 8-yard pass from Austen Arnaud (Grant Mahoney kick) Iowa 35–7 yes 2010 Iowa State Cyclones football team Cy-Hawk Trophy From the get-go, the Hawkeyes were in control of the game, receiving the opening kickoff and scoring seven minutes later on a 9-yard Marvin McNutt pass from Ricky Stanzi. Iowa State would see the ball for just 1:26 in the first quarter, going three and out on their only drive, giving it back to Iowa, who would increase its lead to 14–0 on the next possession, which lasted into the early second quarter. In all, Iowa possessed the ball for over 35 minutes, passing for 275 yards and rushing for another 204 along the way. The Cyclones, meanwhile, endured a replica of the poor performance they put forward against Iowa in 2009, being limited to 179 yards in three quarters. Quarterback Austen Arnaud, who threw for four interceptions in that game, was picked off three more times this year. However, after going 17 quarters without scoring an offensive touchdown against Iowa, ISU finally found the end zone with 1:46 remaining in the game, on an 8-yard touchdown pass from Arnaud to Darius Darks.http://www.hawkeyesports.com/sports/m-footbl/recaps/091110aae.html University of Iowa Athletics Hawkeyes say Cy-onara to Iowa State, 35–7 September 11, 2010 September 12, 2010 Jewel Hampton backs Adam Robinson in 1st game since '08 as Iowa rolls https://www.espn.com/college-football/recap?gameId=302542294 https://web.archive.org/web/20200830230304/https://www.espn.com/college-football/recap?gameId=302542294 dead August 30, 2020 ESPN September 11, 2010 December 28, 2014Robinson leads Iowa rout of rival Iowa State http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/gametracker/recap/NCAAF_20100911_IAST@IA CBS Sports September 11, 2010 December 28, 2014 At No. 24 Arizona #9/9 Iowa 0 7 7 13 #24/18 Arizona 14 13 0 7 September 18 Arizona StadiumTucson, AZ 9:41 p.m. CDT 3:34 57,864 97 F, Clear, Wind NW 8 mph on Larry Farina Mark Jones (Play-by-play) & Bob Davie (Color)Iowa Travels to Arizona for Top 25 Match Up http://www.hawkeyesports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/091310aag.html University of Iowa Department of Athletics September 13, 2010 December 27, 2014 ESPN Source: Box Score yes 1 12:45 Ariz David Douglas 5-Yd Pass From Nick Foles (Alex Zendejas Kick) Ariz 7–0 1 10:10 Ariz Trevin Wade 85-Yd Interception Return (Alex Zendejas Kick) Ariz 14–0 2 14:50 Iowa Jewel Hampton 4-Yd Pass From Ricky Stanzi (Trent Mossbrucker Kick) Ariz 14–7 2 14:36 Ariz Travis Cobb 100-Yd Kickoff Return (Alex Zendejas Kick) Ariz 21–7 2 5:42 Ariz Alex Zendejas 22-Yd FG Ariz 24–7 2 0:16 Ariz Alex Zendejas 47-Yd FG Ariz 27–7 3 7:15 Iowa Derrell Johnson-Koulianos 37-Yd Pass From Ricky Stanzi (Trent Mossbrucker Kick) Ariz 27–14 4 8:59 Iowa Marvin McNutt 18-Yd Pass From Ricky Stanzi (Trent Mossbrucker Kick) Ariz 27–21 4 8:12 Iowa Broderick Binns 20-Yd Interception Return (Pat Blocked) Tied 27–27 4 3:57 Ariz William Wright 4 Yd Pass From Nick Foles (Alex Zendejas Kick) Ariz 34–27 yes 2010 Arizona Wildcats football team After allowing long interception and kickoff returns for touchdowns, the #9 Hawkeyes found themselves down by 20 at halftime. Despite the sizable deficit on the road, Iowa mounted a comeback with a strong second half. Ricky Stanzi tossed a third quarter touchdown to Derrell Johnson-Koulianos, and another in the fourth to Marvin McNutt to bring the Hawkeyes to within six at 27–21. Moments later, defensive end Broderick Binns snatched a Nick Foles pass out of the air and returned it 20 yards for the tying touchdown. The extra point was blocked, denying the Hawkeyes their first lead of the game. On the ensuing possession, Foles led the Wildcats on a 9-play, 72-yard drive capped with a 4-yard touchdown pass on third and goal. Stanzi was sacked three times on Iowa's next possession, effectively ending the game. Arizona would go on to start 7–1 before dropping their final five games of the season to finish 7–6.
