No. 17 Iowa just ripped the heart out of No. 18 Michigan with a last-second stunner, pulling off a 20-19 victory as time completely ran out.
Hawkeyes Clinch It As The Clock Hits Zero
This Big 10 thriller at the Big House came down to the absolute wire. Iowa, trailing late, only had two seconds left to work with. But man, did they make them count! Quarterback Hank Brown fired a 16-yard touchdown pass to Reece Vander Zee, and that was it. Ball game over, just like that. This insane finish capped an 11-play, 91-yard drive that nobody on Michigan’s sideline will forget anytime soon.
How A Crucial Stop Set Up The Stunner
You wanna talk about clutch? On third-and-10, Iowa’s tight end Addison Ostrenga made a crazy play, deflecting a pass to himself and hauling it in with exactly two seconds left on the clock. It looked like Iowa might have had to snap it immediately, but then Michigan defensive end John Henry Daley went down injured on the play. That stop in play for the Wolverines training staff to attend to Daley was HUGE. It gave Iowa the precious time they needed to huddle up, call the perfect final play, and let Brown and Vander Zee execute it flawlessly. Talk about a brutal break for Michigan, and a moment of pure magic for Iowa.
What a wild finish, ending with Iowa on top by a single point. That’s a gut punch for Michigan, but an unbelievable win for the Hawkeyes.
