What a game!

For a while, it looked like Iowa was going to roll to another win in the Heroes Game series vs Nebraska. Then, the Cornhuskers rattled off 14-unanswered points to tie the game at 24-all.

The game stood at the score for a long time, and it looked like the Hawkeyes and Cornhuskers were gearing up to head to overtime. However, Nate Stanley and the offense rattled off some big plays with less than a minute to go.

One throw over the middle by Stanley put the Hawkeyes in range with less than 10 seconds to go:

That set up kicker Keith Duncan for a 48-yard field-goal attempt with six seconds left. He absolutely drilled it:

The kick sends Iowa to a 9-3 record while Nebraska will miss a bowl game yet again with a 5-7 record.
