Iowa stuns Michigan on the final play in Ann Arbor
The Hawkeyes scored on the final play to stun Michigan on the road
In a thrilling finish Saturday at the Big House, Iowa pulled off a stunning 20-19 victory over Michigan. Quarterback Hank Brown connected with wide receiver Reece Vander Zee on the final play, completing a 16-yard back-shoulder throw to give Iowa the winning score. The Hawkeyes took over on their own 9-yard line with less than two minutes left, trailing 19-14.
Brown and the Iowa offense managed to get into the red zone, thanks to a series of successful completions, including Vander Zee's clutch catch. Michigan had built a 10-7 halftime lead, and the Wolverines led 13-7 at the start of the fourth quarter. However, Iowa's offense came alive, outscoring Michigan 13-6 over the final 15 minutes to secure the win.
Following the game, Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz expressed that the team would "get back to work" the next day, while Vander Zee praised his teammate for the game-winning moment. The Ohio State Buckeyes await Iowa in their next game.
