I would take this over a million national titles. It shows that we are Iowa strong we forget that these are mostly just very very young man some still teenagers and to have the strength of will to come back and March out with his brothers along with the wave are only two of the millions of reasons why I love being an Iowa Hawkeyes and the whole state of Iowa .Fan Even our bratty little brothers at Iowa State.
When it comes to crazy finishes, none were more so than Tate to Holloway, blocking consecutive field goals in the final seconds to beat UNI in 2009, and The Stand vs Syracuse in 2006. 8 plays stuffed inside our 5 to escape in OT. Honorable mentions. 1985 Iowa Purdue. Time runs out on Purdue as they were marching for the win. You just have to see it. 2003 Iowa-Wisconsin. Iowa stops Wisconsin right at the goal line as time expired. 1992 Iowa-Wisconsin. Last minute TD and a gutty 2pt conversion for Iowa to take the lead 23-22. Wisconsin gets a 60 yard KO return. Iowa blocks the potential game winning FG as time elapses. 2002 Iowa Purdue. Last minute TD to take the lead and last second red zone stop as the pass bounces off Stubblefield and into happy Hawkeye hands. I'm sure I forgot some.
