The 1998 Iowa Hawkeyes football team represented the University of Iowa as a member of the Big Ten Conference during the 1998 NCAA Division I-A football season. Led Hayden Fry in his 20th and final season as head coach, the Hawkeyes compiled an overall record of 3âÂÂ8 with a mark of 2âÂÂ6 in conference play, placing in a fourth-way tie for seventh in the Big Ten. The team played home games at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa.
Tim Douglas kicked three field goals from beyond 50 yards, including a school-record 58-yard field goal.
This would end up being Hayden Fry's last win at Iowa. He remained Iowa's all-time wins leader until surpassed by Kirk Ferentz almost 20 year's later.
