Iowa heads to the Rose Bowl for the first time since Jan. 1, 2016, and for the first time for a conference game against hosts UCLA. And the surging Hawkeyes as comfortable favorites.

Iowa opened as a 5.5-point favorite over UCLA, according to FanDuel. The over/under is set at 45.5 points.

And the Hawkeyes will look to keep the hot-streak going with another in a string of strong offensive performances.

“It’s interesting,” Ferentz said. “I go way back. When I got here, I remember we knocked them out of the Rose Bowl, actually, in ’81. I remember that. It was a tough game. I can’t tell you who the quarterback was. The only thing I remember from that game, they had run a bounce pass, quarterback throws it off the turf to a receiver, catches it behind the line, and chucks it down there. We must have practiced it 30 times and they hit it for a touchdown against us, so practice doesn’t always make perfect. I’ll never forget that. It’s a hard play to defend. Everybody wants to come forward for obvious reasons.”

Ferentz first came to Iowa in 1981 as the team’s offensive line coach under Hayden Fry. He later left to become the head coach at Maine but in 1999 returned to Iowa to be the Hawkeyes head coach. Since then, as the head coach of Iowa, Ferentz has a record of 10-13 against the Badgers, including two wins in a row.

“Then it was interesting when that thing tailed off there at the late ’80s before I left here, their program had really gone to a place I don’t think anybody would have envisioned,” Ferentz said. “And then Barry [Alvarez] was hired in… would’ve been ’90. And up they went. Since I got back here in ’99, they’ve been nothing but strong. Impressive in all regards.”
