"I think we just wanted to have some fun, break some records, and improve our chance at getting into the National Championship game." Coach Pelini stated. "I really want to coach the Hawkeyes to a win with a National Championship game so I can get over to Cedar Falls and help the program that is in dire trouble at UNI. They have been put on probation for two years. They have been stripped of all of their 25 scholarships, no tv and no bowl games for two years. I just want to get over there quickly to help them out", Pelini added. "I won't do that though until I win a National Championship game with the team I'm with. That's a promise!".
