last year fans were calling for kirk ferentz's head, now he's king of the castle. we'll hear more from captain kirk coming up next... are iowa s jordan/bam: an undefeated season, a shot at the big ten championship and the college football playoff are all still in play for the iowa hawkeyes! who would've imagined this, this time last season!? one man maybe... alex giaimo has more. "(alex giaimo) what a difference a year makes. last season at this time, the hawkeyes were an underachieving team and people were calling for kirk ferentz's job. now the head coach has his team playing championship caliber football and his doubters? well they're now believers. (kirk ferentz) we've tried to look forward and that's what we've encouraged our players to do back in january and i've said this many times, you know, if you are going to be able to compete as a player or as a coach you better be able to take the heat as well as all the other stuff that comes that comes with winning. (giaimo) so what how does ferentz compare the state of his program to that of the national perception

thought iowa needed to fire kirk ferentz. so should those fans be allowed back on the bandwagon, now? of course they should. it's "what's bugging andy" from soundoff, last night. one of the best things about iowas amazing season is that no one saw it coming. a pleasant surprise is one of the most universally welcomed things in all of life, after all, and ones this big are cause to double or triple the celebration. but you see, some of us cant just be happy with the pleasant surprise, were feeling a little bad about being wrong. some of us predicted three or four losses for iowa...some didnt renew their season tickets because they didnt think the games would be any fun...some went so far as to say that kirk ferentz should have been replaced last winter, and they wouldnt cheer for iowa again until he was. those people might technically be wrong now, but they werent wrong for feeling the way they did at the time. things were stagnant, they were dull, and they werent successful to the degree that they once were, and most of their

when i asked kirk ferentz today how much of the college football playoff rankings show he'd watch, ferentz said zero. here's what he missed. clemson #1. followed by lsu, ohio state, and an alabama team with a home loss. notre dame also has a loss. baylor, michigan state, tcu, and iowa are all undefeated. florida has a loss. ferentz may not have watched, but he released a statement: quote: "it is nice to be talked about in the discussion, but the biggest thing right now is to take care of our business each week." it's been six years since iowa was part of the national conversation 8 and oh hawkeyes at 4-4 indiana saturday. michael admire will be there. when the royals won the world series, royals fans partied. and they haven't stoppped. look at the turnover for today's celebration in kansas city. an estimated 800 thousand fans turned out, and that's in a city of 470,000. kids didn't even have to go to school today. we have more local reaction from des do you think when you are president you'll be paid as much as if you were a man-male... this is one of the jobs where they have to pay you th

zach says he was surprised when coach ferentz asked him to be the honorary captain. "a kid born in this city, right here of iowa city, raised in cedar rapids, you can not have black and gold running in you. my parents went to school here, cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents, they went to school here. it's just part of my upbringing. the biggest thing for me is now i don't live here, this is one of the many and one of the specific ways i keep myself in the state of iowa. it's a passion of mine. obviously, when you have somebody as classy and just a pure leader in kirk ferentz welcome you and asking you to come back, you do do that. and i'm so blessed." trt: 36 oc: "i'm so blessed" and i'm joined now by our wrestling analyst, former hawkeye and 2-time ncaa champion mark ironside. mark, the hawkeyes have their media day on thursday and the big outdoor meet in two weeks. they lost five guys from last season, what do you see as far as them being able to fill those spots?

(tevaun smith) we can't walk into this game thinking it's going to be easy just because of their record i mean (giaimo) and even with all their success this year, the hawkeyes aren't looking past a boilermaker team that has just two wins this season. (leshun daniels) they're dangerous, i mean you look at the games, they don't really get blown out like you might think that they do. i mean they're a tough group of guys. they go out there each week and compete hard so we got to make sure we're ready and we don't go out there sleeping on purdue.

no matter how many times kirk ferentz says they just focus one day at a time, right now conversation always moves to the , big picture. a win against purdue this weekend will secure the hawkeyes a spot in the big ten title game. and on paper, it looks like iowa will breeze to win number 11. purdue is 2-8 and has only one conference win. that was against nebraska. it would be easy to look past the boilermakers but kirk ferentz has his eyes set on >> they have good receivers, nanito quarterback, a good running back. we're not taking anything for granted. the conversation today hasn't been on purdue, but our conversation has been strictly on purdue. >> they do a lot of good stuff defensively. they beat nebraska. you should never look at any game like that. tony: tickets are still available. iowa state is going to wrap up their season with two road games. in the six years with this head coach, five of the games have come down to one possession. it is never easy having to do it >> a tight game, a slugfest. we know it is going to take a heck of a week of preparation, great attention to det

heres more with coach ferentz. lookingngat minnesota they seem to be getting better especially mitch liedner who has some great games recently how do you defend him? it is tough because he is a big trong guy so when he runs it he is ugh to bring down d he can slip right by you and another hing he does a good job of throwing the football. they prprably throw the ball deep morr than anyone we are going to play. how do you handle last years game do you watch for motivation is for teaching? it is involved in our cutups so it will show in our teaching tapes. we haven' spent a lottof time just like the maryland loss we have tried to just focus on this year they are a different team and we are a team. when you watched the indiana game film did it seem like josey jewell had their play book. it is kind of how he plays. he does a great job film study and preperation so he nows right where thattall is going. what ran thru your mind when you saw cj turn into superman? well first of all i didn't know he was capable of that he d

(kirk ferentz) its kind of been the way the season has done. it's emblematic of the way the team's been playing. it seems like when someone can't go or can't contribute then somebody else jumps in there and does it. you know a lot of good things happened today, a lot of high points. and certainly one of the best things i saw it looked like leshun was back to being leshun daniels again. (giaimo) daniels' one yard touchdown run was his first of the season. he thinks sharing time with the other running backs sparks a healthy competition. (leshun daniels jr.) we have plenty of competition but we are always pulling from one another. none of us are selfish, and what not, so whenever one of us scores it juices everyone else up.

(kirk ferentz) it's going to be a real challenge for us. they are very, very productive offensively, very balance, they do a nice job running and throwing. high tempo..with really good players and one of the better offensive lines in the big ten from my vantage point so they pose a lot of problems, been very productive, score a lot of points. (giaimo) the iowa offense will need to keep pace with an indiana team that's leading the big ten in total offense. (adam cox) very explosive offense, high tempo, so we need to keep up with that pace. we have a really good defense that hopefully will styme it a little bit but then hopefully we'll put up a lot of points and keep up with them. (cj beathard) we know their offense is up- tempo and they score a lot of points. hopefully, our defense holds them to no points, that would be nice, but you know that's hard to do though to do against any offense especially the way they're built. i feel like we are going to have to score some points.

here's more with coach ferentz. michigan state linebacker said indiana's offense was better than oregon's. he it was simple but it was so fast paced and they had so much team speed. have you seen that on film. i agree with that to your point coach wilson has always been an up tempo guy and they do it very well. quarterback knows how to make players at every position. the offensive line doesn't a great job qb and rb are very good players they are a big threat. is this the best tackling team you have had since you have been here? it would rank right up thier that to me is where defense all starts if you tackle you are going to have a hard time eliminating big plays and just playing good defense they have really done a great job playing team defense and this going to be a real test for us. you beleive the big 10 in turnover margin is that something you can teach and coach? we teach it every year but it really gets down to the players i think the better you play as unit just creates a few more opportunities and the more
