IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) --- Caden Buhr made a 42-yard field goal with 15 seconds
left to give No. 21 Iowa a 16-13 victory over Iowa State on Saturday night.
The game ended with a timing question after the Cyclones got the ball to their
own 49 after Jaylen Raynor threw a 24-yard pass to Carter Pabst. It appeared
time had run out after Pabst had been tackled, but a replay review showed there
was one second left. Iowa State, though, was out of timeouts, and by rule there
would not have been enough time to get off a snap once the ball was set.
Iowa (2-0) started its winning drive on its own 45, moving 31 yards on nine
plays. After Xavier Williams was stopped for no gain on third-and-1 at the 24,
Buhr came in and, despite a high snap, hit the winner.
It was the third field goal of the game for Buhr, a second-year player who hit
one from 32 yards to tie it with 6:22 to play.
Iowa State (1-1) built a 10-0 lead in the second quarter before Iowa tied it
heading into halftime on a 1-yard touchdown run by Hank Brown and a 45-yard
field goal from Buhr.
The last nine games in this in-state rivalry have been decided by 10 points or
less, and four of the last five have been decided by a field goal or less.
The takeaway
Iowa was able to pull out the win despite struggling to move the ball on the
Cyclones for most of the game. The Hawkeyes had a 284-255 edge in offensive
yards. Iowa State, which didn't have a starter from last year returning after
the hiring of new coach Jimmy Rogers, kept the Hawkeyes out of rhythm on
offense.
