Make it four straight for the Hawkeyes.
After leading Nebraska 28-13 entering the fourth quarter, Iowa surrendered 15 unanswered points, knotting the game at 28-28 in the final minute of Friday’s matchup. But Iowa was able to drive down the field on the team’s final possession and set up a game-winning field goal attempt for Miguel Recinos.
The kicker delivered.
Recinos delivered on a 41-yard field goal attempt, lifting the Hawkeyes to a 31-28 victory over the Huskers as time expired. Iowa improved to 8-4 on the season and notched its fourth straight win in the rivalry game.
Don't doubt the senior kicker on Senior Day.

A game-winning field goal at home over a rival opponent. Does it get any better for the Hawkeyes? It doesn’t get much sweeter for Recinos either, who is also a senior.
What an incredible end to the season for Iowa.
