Iowa pulled off an astounding victory over Michigan on Saturday in Ann Arbor, thanks to a last-second 16-yard touchdown pass. Quarterback Hank Brown connected with wide receiver Reece Vander Zee on the final play, completing the game-winning throw. This stunning connection put Iowa into the red zone, where they converted it for the winning score.
Iowa took the field with under two minutes remaining, trailing 19-14. However, a series of successful completions by Brown and the Hawkeyes offense gave them the chance to come back. With Vander Zee's remarkable catch, Iowa secured a 20-19 win over the Wolverines. Michigan had built a 10-7 halftime lead, and led by 13-7 when the fourth quarter started.
But Iowa's offense came alive in the final 15 minutes, outscoring Michigan 13-6. After the game, Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz stated that they would "get back to work" tomorrow, while Vander Zee praised his teammate's effort. The Hawkeyes will next face the Ohio State Buckeyes.
