Answer:The year Iowa defeated Hawaii was Jason Elam's freshman year in 1989! Mahalo,Actually, the University of Hawaii football team defeatedthe University of Iowa Hawkeyes (not Iowa State) in 1988, not 1989. It was Jason Elam's freshman year. The final score was Hawaii 27, Iowa 24. Since Iowa was ranked as high as ninth nationally, it was a pretty huge upset.Here's a link to the Na Koa football club website, which includes a video showing the last few minutes of the game (a missed field goal attempt by Iowa and ensuing celebration by Hawaii). Hawaii fans can relive the sweet memory while Iowa fans will probably want to pass.In case you were wondering, the Iowa State football team is the Cyclones, not the Hawkeyes. I don't think Hawaii has ever played Iowa State, although I may be wrong there.

The term "Hawkeye" originally appeared in the book, The Last of the Mohicans, and was later used in its plural form to describe the people of Iowa. Soon thereafter, the University of Iowa borrowed this nickname for its athletic teams. Some also believe the reference relates to the famous Indian Chief Black Hawk, who led the Sauk and Fox tribes and lived along the Mississippi River in the early 19th century in present day eastern Iowa and western Illinois.
