It's 1981 and the Iowa Hawkeyes are struggling for football respectability. After decades of losing, Hayden Fry signs a lightly recruited QB from Wheaton (Illinois). Chuck Long proves himself by throwing for more yards than any other QB in Big Ten history, finishes runner-up for the Heisman and is the 12th overall pick in the '86 NFL Draft.

Industry Reviews

"Even if you'd never heard of Chuck Long, this book is a pure delight. What a magic person he is and what an outstanding, fascinating career and experience he's had. This book is inspiring, uplifting and fun. Aaron Putze nailed it!" --Van Harden, WHO Radio

"Chuck Long arrived in Iowa in the early 1980s just as the brutal Farm Crisis did. And the University of Iowa 'Football Crisis, ' as we might call it, had been raging for 19 years. Young Chuck, colorful Coach Hayden Fry and the rest of the Iowa Hawkeyes gave us victories, bowl games, No. 1 national rankings and most important of all, hope, right when the whole state needed it. We're way overdue in telling and celebrating that story. Thanks to writer Aaron Putze for doing it - and doing it so well." - Chuck Offenburger, Iowa writer and former Des Moines Register Iowa Boy Columnist
