No. 17 Iowa Drives for Last-Play TD to Beat No. 18 Michigan 20-19

On Saturday, September 26, 2026, the Iowa Hawkeyes defeated the Michigan Wolverines 20-19 in Ann Arbor when quarterback Hank Brown threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to Reece Vander Zee on the game's final play.
The dramatic finish mirrored Michigan's controversial 13-12 season-opening win over Western Michigan, when replay officials restored one second to the clock; Iowa's victory immediately resurfaced that clock controversy.
Despite Michigan outgaining Iowa 429-285 in yards, Iowa kick returner Braeden Jackson provided a pivotal advantage with a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown early in the game.
Iowa remains undefeated at 4-0 while Michigan drops to 3-1; the Hawkeyes' official account posted "NO EXTRA TIME NECESSARY" on X, a direct jab at the season-opening controversy.
Michigan travels to Minnesota on Saturday, October 3, to compete for the Little Brown Jug rivalry trophy in its first road test of the season.
