Kid Captain Quinn Stumpf and her family smile for the crowd during the Iowa/UNI football game at Kinnick Stadium on Sept. 15. The Hawkeyes defeated the Panthers, 38-14.
A Decade of Hawkeye Spirit For the UI’s Homecoming weekend, many of the families with children who have been honored through the Kid Captain program will return to Iowa City to march in Friday’s Homecoming Parade. BY KATELYN WEISBROD katelyn-weisbrod@uiowa.edu
The Smith family pulled into a parking spot reserved for the Kid Captain before the Iowa/Illinois game on Oct. 7, 2017. Parked next to them was former Hawkeye and New England Patriot defensive end Adrian Clayborn, the honorary captain for the game. Ten-year-old Maddox Smith and his friends challenged the 6-3, 280-pound Go to dailyiowan.com to see a timeline of all 134 Kid Captains.
Clayborn and his friends to a football game in the parking lot outside of Kinnick Stadium. After that, the Kid Captain and the NFL player walked out on the field in front of 70,000 fans to be honored before the game. Maddox has been going to Hawkeye football games since he was 2 years old. Born and raised an Iowa fan, he loves football, and it breaks his heart that he will never be able to play the sport, said his mother, Jen Smith. At age 5, Maddox was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis, a disease that caused his nerve endings to grow tumors. When he was 8, doctors found a tumor the size
of a golf ball in his brain, unrelated to his neurofibromatosis. He has been in and out of the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital for half of his life, but today, he’s healthy, taking medicine every day and avoiding rough activities. Through the Kid Captain program, Maddox stood on the field of Kinnick alongside the Iowa football team, toured the stadium, saw his face on the Jumbotron, and even played a pickup football game with an NFL player. The Hawkeye coaching staff encouraged Maddox, saying he could still love football, maybe even coach football, even though he couldn’t play the sport. “That was huge for us, to have people
who weren’t [his parents] telling him that,” Jen said. ••• Now in its 10th year, the Kid Captain program has invited back all 134 Kid Captains since the program’s start in 2009 to march in the Homecoming Parade on Friday. Each has been a patient in the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital and was honored at a Hawkeye football game. Of them, 114 families are expected to return to Iowa City this weekend, including SEE CAPTAIN , 6

four families whose children have died since their Kid Captain experience. “Even though they aren’t physically here, they’re still part of this team,” said Cheryl Hodgson, the director of marketing for the UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital and founder of the Kid Captain program. The program blossomed from an idea to make the trip to Iowa City more fun and exciting for a few patients in the Children’s Hospital. Kids from around the state and the country come to the hospital to be treated for a vast range of illnesses, which often prevent them from playing sports and doing other things that healthy kids do. The Kid Captains for each year are announced in the summer, and the experience begins in August with Kids Day, a special event in which all the Kid Captains for the upcoming season come to Kinnick Stadium to get an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour, walk through the tunnel, and meet the players and coaches for autographs. Hodgson remembers every single Kid Captain. She said all are strong and inspiring in their unique way. “We all have bad days, but I’ll look at their pictures or read their stories and be reminded that there are people that are going through things that are so difficult at such a young age,” she said. “They’re so optimistic, and they just want to get out of the hospital, and go back to school, and be a kid.” •••
Katina Zentz/The Daily Iowan
Lincoln Ortman (top, center) sits for a portrait with his family in North Liberty. Lincoln was a Kid Captain in 2015 for an away game against Indiana.
The Ortman family — Chris, Missy, and their five kids — made the seven-and-ahalf-hour trip several times a year from South Dakota to the Children’s Hospital for their son Lincoln’s treatment. In 2014, the family moved to North Liberty to be closer to the hospital, because Lincoln had had a multitude of medical challenges since he was 5 months old. Looking at him now, at age 8, you would have no idea he had been so sick. He is a star swimmer, faster than most kids in his age group. In 2015, when Lincoln was 5, he was the honorary Kid Captain for an away game at Indiana on Nov. 7. Although away-game Kid Captains don’t have an on-field experience, Lincoln and his family attended the Pittsburgh game that season — one many Hawkeye fans remember well, as a last-second kick broke the tie and put the Hawkeyes one step closer toward the team’s 12-0 regular season record. The game was Lincoln’s favorite part of being Kid Captain (though he admits he doesn’t remember a lot). For his parents, however, the experience meant everything.
“It turned a negative into a positive for him,” Chris Ortman said. “Since kindergarten, he would come to school different in some way, but this was an awesome different instead of a different that people don’t understand.” Missy Ortman said her favorite thing was getting to share her son’s story. By doing this, she connected with others whose children were going through something similar. “When he questions why he was made this way, why he has to struggle like that, we can remind him that not everyone gets to be part of the Kid Captain program,” she said. “When you’re healthy, you don’t get that experience.” ••• Since its humble beginning as an almost spur-of-the-moment idea in 2009, Kid Captain has evolved into a yearlong operation for a team at the Stead Hospital. With 300 to 400 nominations each year, a group of doctors, nurses, and other hospital staff narrow down the bunch to 13 kids who “embody what it means to change medicine and change kids’ lives,” Hodgson said. She vividly remembers the very first Kid Captain, Jack Koehn, who had hemophilia and other conditions that prevented him from playing sports such as football. He stood on the sidelines with the Hawkeyes and his parents were tearful when the all of the fans in Kinnick turned their attention to Jack, Hodgson said. From then on, she said, she knew the program was going to be special. “I’ve been doing this for 10 years, and I get emotional every time because so many of these kids love sports and because of what they’re living with they may not be able to play or they’re huge Hawkeye fans,” she said. “To stand out in the middle of Kinnick Stadium to be recognized as a captain is something that very few people will have in their life.” ••• When Iowa played Purdue in 2015, Kinnick Stadium was coated in a blanket of fresh snow. Kid Captain Beau Atkinson’s mom, Kari, insisted the then-13-yearold wear his coat and snow pants when he went out on the field, but he refused. “I said to Brian Ferentz, I’m going to get the mother-of-the-year award, with him not wearing a coat,” Kari Atkinson said. “Luckily, the student section was giving out blankets, and they gave him one and he walked out with that at least wrapped around him.” Ferentz told her that Beau was the first Kid Captain to have a snow game. Beau, now 16, has hemophilia, which means his blood doesn’t clot normally. He SEE CAPTAIN , 8

CAPTAIN CONTINUED FROM 6 requires regular injections of medication, which he administers himself. Playing sports is risky with his condition, but he plays the cymbals in the Marching Band at school and trumpet in Concert Band. The Atkinsons are a Hawkeye family, and Kari said Beau loved the experience of meeting the players and coaches. For her and her family, the experience offered them a chance to bring awareness to hemophilia, a rare illness. The UI Hemophilia Clinic serves 400 patients from Iowa and Illinois. ••• The Kid Captain program could not exist without Iowa football, Hodgson said. In fact, the players and coaches treasure the experience of getting to know the Kid Captains at Kids Day in August and when each child is honored throughout the season. “It really puts it into perspective how lucky we are to do what we do,” Iowa quarterback Nate Stanley said. “Being able to see the Kid Captain in the tunnel before we go out, it’s
ARIZONA What team? Wildcats.
something that’s pretty special and reminds me just how lucky I am to be able to go out there, and play, and do what I love.” Knowing how different the experience of watching a game from the sidelines is from being in the stands, Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz said the program is special, not only for the kids but for him and the team. “It’s selfish, but it’s a great reminder for our players of how fortunate they are,” Ferentz said. “We choose to play football and coach football, and we’re able to do it — not everybody is that lucky.” Former Hawkeye Josey Jewell, now a linebacker for the Denver Broncos, cared deeply for the Kid Captains while he played for Iowa. He had a special connection with a Kid Captain in 2017, Logan Manderfield, who was from Waucoma, Iowa, a town not far from Jewell’s home in Decorah. Jewell has even attended an annual 5K for Logan, who has Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Even after heading to the NFL, Jewell said, the kids at the the Children’s Hospital hold a special place in his heart. “Our struggles as student-athletes are nothing even comparable to what they may be going through,” Jewell said. “For the kids to be recognized through the Kid Captain program is extremely special and gives them a bright spot in their lives.”
ARIZONA Up until last week, UCLA was one of two winless Power 5 teams … now it’s just Nebraska.
One time Mike Leach followed a raccoon for an hour just to see where it lived. Wazzu deserves to win every game for that.
UCLA This one is for you, John Wooden.

MARYLAND
Homecoming is upon Iowa City, and while the alumni descend upon their old stomping grounds, the Maryland football team traveled 905 miles to Kinnick. The Terrapins come into the game unranked but hold a positive record of 4-2. Maryland started off 2018 with a bang, beating then-No. 23 Texas, 34-29, in the season-opener (the Longhorns are now ranked No. 7 in the nation). Since then, the Terrapins went 1-1 in their remaining nonconference games, beating Bowling Green and losing to Temple. Three games into Big Ten play, Maryland owns a 2-1 conference record. The Terrapins kicked off the conference slate by taking down Minnesota in dominating fashion, 42-13, lost to Michigan by 21, then beat Rutgers last weekend, 24-7. Maryland’s Taivon Jacobs addresses the media during Big Ten football media days in Chicago on July 24.
8.1
Ty Johnson’s yards per carry
The Terrapins average 245.2 yards per game on the ground, and they’re led by Ty Johnson, who has 435 yards this season. He’s averaging 8.1 yards per touch, which ties for fifth-best in the country. In three games, Johnson has averaged 10.3 yards per carry or better. His best outing of the season came this past week against Rutgers, when he totaled 132 rushing yards on just 9 carries (14.7 yards per carry). The games in which Johnson has topped the century mark happen to be the games in which he’s averaged 10.3 yards per carry or better. In his other games, he’s averaged just 2.5 yards per touch (56 yards on 22 carries). In both losses, Johnson has just 26 yards combined. He’s also one of the Big Ten’s best kick returners. He’s already taken one kick back to the house, and he’s averaging 28.3 yards per return.
3
Sub-100 yard games from Kasim Hill
If you were to find the word “consistency” in the dictionary, chances are quarterback Kasim Hill’s name wouldn’t appear next to it. In half of Maryland’s games, Hill has thrown for fewer than 100 yards. The Terrapins don’t favor the pass by any means, but there hasn’t been a balance between the run and pass lately. In Maryland’s last three games, it has ran the ball 38 times on average, respectively, while throwing an average of 15.6 times. One of Hill’s favorite targets in the passing game is wideout Taivon Jacobs. He’s got 14 receptions for 160 yards and 2 touchdowns on the season. He’s also got 30 yards on the ground.
36

Punts
Coming in at third in the conference for most punts (behind punting powerhouses Illinois and Rutgers), Maryland clocks in at 36 boots through six games. Punter Wade Lees has all 36 kicks so far this season, averaging 41.6 yards per punt. His count ties for second-most in the conference. Maryland’s third-down conversion rate isn’t helping its cause in keeping Lees off the field. The Terrapins convert on third downs 36.4 percent — they’re 28-for-77. As far as the positives go, Lees has improved upon his punting average from 2017 — his boots are going just more than 2 yards farther. Last season he punted 64 times for 2,511 yards — that’s more punting yards than Maryland had passing yards last season.

ONE ON ONE IHMIR SMITH-MARSETTE Daily Iowan Sports Editor Pete Ruden caught up with Hawkeye wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette to ask him some of life’s most thought-provoking questions. Daily Iowan: If you could have any superpower, what would it be? Ihmir Smith Marsette: If I could have any superpower, it would be [the ability to] teleport. DI: What is your favorite play from this year? Smith-Marsette: My 60yard touchdown, but right behind that comes my kickoff return [against Minnesota]. I’m kind of mad that I didn’t score on that one. DI: If you could play one video game for the rest of your life, what would it be? Smith-Marsette: That’s kind of hard. I play like three video games, but it would probably be Call of Duty. DI: Which three games? Smith-Marsette: Call of Duty, Fortnite, and 2K. DI: What is your dream vacation? Smith-Marsette: I think it’s Iceland, where they got the little smoke and the little lake. I guess it’s a lake, and there’s a lot of mist and stuff like that, so I think that’s pretty cool.
DI: When you’re walking into the stadium, who are you listening to? Smith-Marsette: A [variety] of different artists — Lil Baby, Gunna, Quando Rondo, Lucci, Kodak. A lot of people that get me amped up. DI: Who is an NFL player you model your game after? Smith-Marsette: Desean Jackson. That’s easy. I’ve been watching him since ’08 Eagles. I’m a big time Eagles fan, big time Desean Jackson fan. Big time, big time. DI: If you had to assemble a 4x100-meter track team with players from the team, who would you choose? Smith-Marsette: I’m taking me, Noah Fant, Kyle Groeneweg, and Brandon Smith. DI: What is the best fast-food restaurant? Smith-Marsette: Wendy’s. 100 percent real beef. DI: What is the best advice you have received? Smith-Marsette: Don’t fall into the success trap.

BIG TEN
POWER RANKINGS
The Big Ten is the only conference with an undefeated team and a winless team. Thanks, Nebraska. JORDAN ZUNIGA
jordan-zuniga@uiowa.edu
1) Ohio State (7-0):
8) Minnesota (3-3):
BIG TEN SCHEDULE No. 6 Michigan vs. No. 24 Michigan State 11 a.m. | ESPN2
This is the biggest game of the week in the Big Ten by far. It should turn out well for Michigan this time, though; hopefully, the Wolverines punt it cleanly this time.
Even after letting Minnesota hang around, the Buckeyes are the team to beat.
Minnesota is gopher 3 (0-for-3) in the Big Ten so far. Luckily, Gophers have Nebraska next.
Maryland vs. No. 19 Iowa
2) Michigan (6-1):
9) Northwestern (3-3):
This could very easily be a trap game for the Hawkeyes, especially coming off their big road trip. Iowa will pull it out, but it’ll be close.
10) Indiana (4-3):
Illinois vs. No. 23 Wisconsin
Maybe Jim Harbaugh finally has the team to get past Urban Meyer.
3) Iowa (5-1):
Well, Iowa officially has a solid offense to go with its defense. The race for the West might still be on.
4) Wisconsin (4-2):
The Badgers may choke away the West after all.
5) Michigan State (4-2):
This is the week we will see if the Spartans are legit.
6) Penn State (4-2):
After two-straight big home losses, Trace McSorley really misses Saquon Barkley.
7) Maryland (4-2):
That win during Week 1 against Texas is looking darn good right now.
Lose to Duke and Akron at home, beat Michigan State on the road, and almost lose to Nebraska at home. Who knows how good this team really is?
Not a good couple of weeks to be a Hoosier fan.
11) Purdue (3-3):
The Boilermakers’ offense made some noise last week. Too bad it was against Illinois — no one heard it.
12) Illinois (3-3):
Rough one in West Lafayette, and the next two weeks won’t be any easier.
13) Rutgers (1-6):
At least the Scarlet Knights aren’t in last place.
14) Nebraska (0-6):
They were just oh, so close to that first taste of victory. Instead, they’re 0-6 for the first time in program history.
11 a.m. | ESPN2
11 a.m. | FS1
That should make it two-straight blowout losses for Illinois. At least the Illini still have Nebraska to look forward to.
Northwestern vs. Rutgers 11 a.m. | BTN
The Wildcats should win this one, but this season, that means they’ll probably lose. So who knows?
No. 18 Penn State vs. Indiana 2:30 p.m. | ABC
If the Nittany Lions lose this one, the Hawkeyes might actually have a chance to beat them next weekend. Don’t get your hopes up, though.
Nate Stanley, Iowa quarterback
Minnesota vs. Nebraska 2:30 p.m. | BTN
Huskers, can you say “oh-and-seven?” Minnesota quarterback Zack Annexstad will have Nebraska fans wishing they could be annexed back to the Big 12.
No. 2 Ohio State vs. Purdue 6:30 p.m. | ABC
Well, I don’t think the Boilermakers will put up 46 points this week. However, they may lose by that much.
