Iowa's Last Drive Against Michigan State, 2009

[@chitownsports5572]

This is one of the best Iowa teams ever

[@ratio1770]

Woah...I wasn't expecting a comment. AND FROM 50 MINS AGO!

[@uzername1nvalid]

It's a very good team, but 2002 was an offensive powerhouse.

[@Skylicity]

true but this team made up for it by winning the orange bowl this time. but yeah 2002 was nasty

[@jamesh6846]

Imagine how good we would have been had greene stayed

[@noahh8707]

James Harbeson and Stanzi never got injured maybe we would have beaten Northwestern and Ohio State

[@shotsavereboundscore]

I lost my mind when mcnutt caught that pass.... so exciting

[@majcorbin]

Pres Trump should sign a final [UP YOURS] EXECUTIVE ORDER ESTABLISHING term limits FOR ALL OF CONGRESS Two & OUT TWO & OUT will be the chant WE THE PEOPLE will SHOUT

[@Mr.International82]

I’ll always remember the commentator says 7 just got 6!

[@ArtInTheWild24]

Will never forget this one! That catch from McNutt! This squad was awesome during this time! 🖤💛

[@aaronrider4051]

These Hawks would have won the national title if Stanzi hadn't gotten hurt against jNW. Heck, they nearly beat Ohio State with Vandenberg!

[@drewlenz5877]

Wouldn’t have made it. Alabama was #1, Florida was #2, and Texas was #3 at the end. Florida and Bama played in the SEC championship game to determine who was going, Texas stayed undefeated. Would have been #3 going to the rose bowl if they went undefeated. I think they would win that but they would have missed the Natty based on the BCS System. Bama beat Texas by like 45 points I think, prob would have done the same to Iowa. That was one of the best CFB teams of all time.

[@aaronrider4051]

@@drewlenz5877 Your memory, to put it mildly, is way off. Alabama did not beat Texas by 45. Alabama beat Texas 37-21. The score was 24-21 with 3 min to play. This was all without UT's starting QB. Not an impressive performance by Alabama.

[@aaronrider4051]

@@drewlenz5877 The BCS Computer Average *loved* the 2009 Hawkeyes. Had Iowa remained unbeaten, they would have taken #2 from Texas, particularly after Texas's atrocious performance against Nebraska.

[@sudheerdhoop2803]

Mirror image occured in MSU's favor in 2015 B1G championship with LJ Scott reaching across the goal line in the final minute with MSU (4) down 13-9 to Iowa (5) to avoid an upset. Surprised that wasn't brought up at that time.

@ 8:41 Stanzi could have ran it in if he wanted..the red sea was parted.

[@kencummings953]

Kirk at 54 (when this game was played) looks like his son Brian today (who has to be fifteen years younger than his dad in 2009)

[@deckard2665]

Any chance you could upload the entire game?

[@jaydenb-j8411]

I wish MSU missed the same play in 2015

[@stevencoffman7683]

I was born a Hawkeye I will die a Hawkeye

[@victorchaos6608]

We’re going to McNut all over your faces! LOL.

[@peterjensen6844]

"Can your guy beat their guy". While that's true, the brilliant call here was putting Moaki in motion across the formation to secure the one on one matchup on the top. Without that, McNutt wouldn't have had that inside screen move.

[@williammeiners1537]

Reverse of what Penn state did to Iowa in 2017

[@HawkeyeNation19]

That one still hurts a bit lol

[@bigzeek1860]

This is the 2015 big ten championship but the teams are flipped

[@lh1678]

I could not watch this play when it happened..I just knew that Iowa was going to blow this...Stanzi was the best.

[@lh1678]

Cant wait for this weekend..Beat Penn State.

[@vniesky]

Hated this announcer. Nothing but cliche's from the guy. Glad when he moved on.

[@dannythomas417]

What's his name?

[@Cornography1996]

I was 13 years old and watching this game in a hotel room with my younger brother, grandpa and grandma. I don't remember if my grandma was watching but I know that us boys were glued to the screen of the cheap hotel TV watching this drive. I will never forget the joy of hugging my grandpa after the final game winning pass. It is in my top 3 favorite hawkeye memories. My grandpa died 3 years later. This game will always hold a special spot in my heart for that reason.

“And you can tell that Michigan State just had their heart ripped out.”

[@dfertefwergwergrfgwr]

MSU. It's what they do.

[@brettfinlay7447]

No not really.

[@fordy5612]

Go Hawks

[@erichonecker1010]

Most definitely KF’s best team at Iowa.
