Iowa upsets No. 2 Michigan 14-13 on last-second field goal

Sports

November 13th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Freshman Keith Duncan kicked a 33-yard field goal as time expired and Iowa stunned second-ranked Michigan 14-13 on Saturday night, damaging the Wolverines’ playoff hopes. Akrum Wadley had 115 yards rushing for the Hawkeyes (6-4, 4-3 Big Ten), who beat a top-five team for the first time in six years.

Michigan (9-1, 6-1, No. 3 CFP) appeared to have the game wrapped up on Channing Stribling’s interception of Iowa quarterback C.J. Beathard with 1:54 left. But the Hawkeyes defense stuffed the Wolverines, and a facemask penalty put Iowa at Michigan’s 36 with 1:23 to go.

Duncan then drilled the ball through the uprights from nearly the exact same spot where Daniel Murray hit the game-winner eight years ago to knock Penn State out of the national title picture. But Michigan is still very much alive, in part because Clemson and Washington lost earlier in the day. Wilton Speight threw for 103 yards with a pick for the Wolverines, who gained just 201 yards of offense.

After three straight homes losses and a 41-14 defeat at Penn State last week, the Hawkeyes redeemed themselves. The defense looked like the one that was expected to help the Hawkeyes compete for a second straight Big Ten title, and the offense did just enough to give the program a win it sorely needed after weeks of listless play.

Iowa travels next week to face Illinois, in its last road game of 2016. The Hawkeyes are 3-1 on the road.

MACOMB, Ill. (AP) — Michael Malloy ran for 92 yards and two touchdowns, Eli Dunne threw for two scores and Northern Iowa beat Western Illinois 30-23 on Saturday. Dunne completed 19 of 27 passes for 209 yards with one interception and Jalen Rima had four receptions for 79 yards for Northern Iowa (5-5, 4-3 Missouri Valley Conference).

Malloy capped an 11-play, 78-yard game-opening drive with a 2-yard touchdown run and Dunne hit Logan Cunningham for a 9-yard score to make it 14-0 with 4:51 left in the first half. A touchdown pass from Dunne to Daurice Fountain and a 6-yard scoring run by Malloy — sandwiched around Lance Lenoir’s 9-yard TD catch for Western Illinois — made it 27-9 with 7:34 left and the Panthers held on from there.

Sean McGuire threw three touchdown passes — including two to Isaiah Lesure — for Western Illinois (6-4, 3-4).

David Montgomery had a career-high 169 yards rushing for Iowa State (2-8, 1-6 Big 12).

The Cyclones scored on four-consecutive drives, including a 37-yard field goal by Cole Netten that capped the scoring with 2:48 remaining, and Jomal Wiltz intercepted a pass at the ISU 38 to seal it 40 seconds later.

Matthew Wyman’s 37-yard field goal gave Kansas a 17-10 lead early in the second half. Park hit Deshaunte Jones for a 12-yard touchdown and, after a 39-yard TD run by Kansas’ Ke’aun Kinner, Mitchell Harger scored on a 6-yard run to make it 24-22 with 10 seconds left in the third quarter.

A 46-yard run by Montgomery set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Joel Lanning gave the Cyclones the lead, 28-24, for good with 12:03 left. Carter Stanley passed for 171 yards and Kinner had 152 yards rushing for Kansas (1-9, Big 12 0-7).
