Why it matters
This result significantly impacts college football rankings and highlights the competitive nature of the current season.
No. 17 Iowa defeated No. 18 Michigan 20-19 with a last-second touchdown pass. Hank Brown connected with Reece Vander Zee for the game-winning 16-yard score as time expired. Iowa's offense gained 156 of its 285 total yards in the fourth quarter to overcome a late deficit. Braeden Jackson returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter. ANN ARBOR, Michigan — Iowa came into Michigan Stadium with an offense averaging 477 yards per game … and didn’t decide to trust that very offense until times got desperate late in the third quarter.
And then … the Hawkeyes delivered the miracle stunner, out of seemingly thin air, akin to a 2009 game here in the state of Michigan.
