Kirk Ferentz Did Post-Game Interview While Bleeding From a Celebratory Head Butt
By Jason Lisk
Iowa survived the showdown with neighboring Nebraska, after blowing a 15-point fourth quarter lead. The Hawkeyes won a last-second field goal by Miguel Recinos, and that set off a celebration. Included in that celebration, apparently, was quarterback Nathan Stanley head-butting Kirk Ferentz.
No, Kirk Ferentz isn't wearing lipstick.

He got headbutted in the postgame celebration, but the @HawkeyeFootball head coach didn't let that ruin the interview: pic.twitter.com/vWIB0kU7CR
The after-effects of that head butt were still visible as Ferentz powered through his postgame interview looking like he had just gotten into an eight-round fight, bleeding from his lip and cut below the eye. He’ll be able to pay for the co-pay on this one, though, since he got a $500,000 bonus for getting to 8 wins on the season.
