This week on Fight for Iowa, we’re taking a trip back to one of the most iconic seasons in Hawkeye history — 1985. Former Iowa defensive lineman Hap Peterson joins the show to reflect on the attitude, grit, and preparation that defined the Hawkeyes’ dominant defense.

From the unforgettable wins that propelled Iowa to the nation’s No. 1 ranking, to the brotherhood that still connects those players decades later, Peterson shares inside stories that capture what made that team so special.
