US EditionMichigan State Still Winless in Big Ten After Blowing Lead at Iowa
Vander Zee's contested sideline catch extended Iowa's final drive enabling Stevens' 44-yard field goal, completing a 13-point fourth-quarter comeback to end a two-game losing streak.
- On Nov. 22, Reece Vander Zee made a bobbled 21-yard sideline catch in the final minute, setting up a five-play drive and Drew Stevens' 44-yard field goal as time expired.
- After a listless first three quarters, Iowa's offense drew boos during the Nov. 22 second half as they trailed 17-7 following Michigan State third-quarter scoring, but Kirk Ferentz kept faith with Mark Gronowski.
- Special-Teams standout Kaden Wetjen scored a 62-yard punt-return touchdown breaking Tim Dwight's program record and added a 40-yard return setting up Iowa's final drive with 107 punt-return yards first half.
- The result preserved a positive senior-day ending for the Iowa Hawkeyes, capping a 13-point fourth-quarter comeback that snapped a two-game losing streak as Michigan State Spartans fell to 3-8, 0-8, extending their Big Ten skid to nine games.
- The finish echoed Malik Benson's recent walk-off at Kinnick, and Gronowski's 6-for-10 for 117 yards in the fourth quarter highlighted his late surge.
