No. 17 Iowa defeated No. 18 Michigan 20-19 at Michigan Stadium on Saturday when quarterback Hank Brown threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to Reece Vander Zee as time expired. The Hawkeyes drove 91 yards in the final 1:37, aided by an unnecessary roughness penalty on Michigan on third down at midfield. Brown completed a 29-yard pass to Addison Ostrenga to set up the winning play with two seconds remaining.
Michigan had taken a 19-14 lead with 11:59 left in the fourth quarter on Bryce Underwood's 49-yard touchdown pass to JJ Buchanan, but the Wolverines failed on the two-point conversion attempt. Iowa initially took a 14-13 lead earlier in the quarter on Brown's first touchdown pass to Vander Zee.
“To be able to silence a stadium like that, there's no greater feeling.”
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz elected to attempt a 51-yard field goal with 2:33 remaining, but Caden Buhr missed wide right. Michigan could not gain a first down, giving Iowa the ball back for the game-winning drive. The Hawkeyes improved to 4-0 overall and 1-0 in Big Ten play, while Michigan fell to 3-1 and 0-1.
The finish drew immediate comparisons to Michigan's season-opening win over Western Michigan, when officials put one second back on the clock after a review, allowing Underwood to throw a game-winning touchdown. Iowa's victory came with no time remaining for a potential replay review.
