Iowa pulled off a dramatic upset of rival Michigan on Saturday, scoring a 16-yard touchdown pass on the final play of the game to win 20-19 and hand the No. 18 Wolverines a stunning defeat.
The No. 17 Hawkeyes trailed for much of the contest before engineering the game-winning score as time expired, turning what had looked like a Michigan victory into a last-second Iowa win.
A finish for the rivalry's history books
Finishing a game on a touchdown as the clock runs out is among the most dramatic outcomes in college football, and Saturday's result is likely to be remembered as one of the more notable finishes in the long-running rivalry between the two Big Ten programs.
The one-point margin reflects how closely the two ranked teams were matched throughout the contest, with the outcome ultimately decided in the final seconds rather than through a comfortable advantage for either side.
The win is a significant result for Iowa's season given Michigan's ranking, while it represents a difficult loss for the Wolverines after appearing to be in position to close out the game.
