Another walk-off moment for Iowa football against Nebraska

IOWA CITY – For the second straight year, the Iowa-Nebraska rivalry came to a 10-10 deadlock in the second period of the fourth quarter.

But this time the shoe was on the other Iowa foot.

Drew Stevens, a year after being substituted at halftime of Iowa’s game at Nebraska, hit a 53-yard walk-off field goal to give the Hawkeyes their only lead of the game and a dramatic 13-10 victory with one out a disjointed, ice-cold audience at Kinnick Stadium.

A year ago, Ethan Hurkett’s improbable last-minute interception and Marshall Meeder’s flurry 39-yard field goal set up the Hawkeyes for a 13-10 walk-off win at Lincoln and the Heroes Trophy.

Kaleb Johnson was held in check with 45 rushing yards, but his 72-yard touchdown reception lifted Iowa to a 13-10 victory over Nebraska.

This time, Max Llewellyn was the defensive hero for the Hawkeyes, who finished their regular season with an 8-4 record while handing Nebraska a devastating loss and a 6-6 finish.

Without the heroics of Kaleb Johnson, the Hawkeyes could have escaped from their own building.
