Hall of Ferentz — Defensive end « On Iowa:
"Iowa's Matt Roth (31) celebrates after sacking Florida quarterback Chris Leak during the Outback Bowl Thursday January 1, 2004 in Tampa, Florida. Iowa won, 37-17. You could make a pretty good argument for Roth being the recruit the helped pump up Iowa's classes early in the Kirk Ferentz era. (Brian Ray/Gazette)
1) Matt Roth (2001-04)
One of the most singular personalities in the Ferentz era, I was lucky enough to be invited for a home visit to the Roths in OakBrook. They were hilarious. Unfortunately, these might have still been the days when The Gazette was still charging for internet access. If this scheduling thingie works, that story should be under this one."
Matt Roth was one of the best players I have watched from talent and antics. His Gatorchop after sacking Chris Leak in the first Outback was just hilarious! Gators and Ron Zooker thought they were going to roll all over the Hawks. But Roth and the rest of the Hawks put the ass whooping on them instead! Then comes the Cap1 Bowl and LSU. LSU coming off a National Championship playing Iowa was cocky as ever. I heard Tigerbait everywhere I went from Disney World to strolling down the street of Orlando. We go to the Hawkeye Huddle and Matt Roth was given the chance to speak. Matt goes, "I have two words for LSU!!!!" and flips them the bird with both hands stretched in the air. The crowd went nuts!!! Thanks for the memories Matt!!!!
