Summary: The season featured a new head coach in Ben "Sport" Donnelly. Like Dalton, Donnelly was only hired before the season to prepare and assemble the team. Donnelly was disliked compared to his predecessor but it did not stop Iowa from getting their first victory in the Western Interstate University Football Association (WIUFA) with a win over Missouri. They finished 3-4 overall, and 1-2 in the conference.

Conference: Western Interstate University Football Association

Head Coach: Ben Donnelly
