Iowa (7-4, 5-3 Big Ten) snapped its two-game losing streak and kept Michigan State (3-8, 0-8 Big Ten) winless in Big Ten play.

After Iowa’s offense had been held scoreless in its previous five quarters of play, the Hawkeyes’ offense managed to find itself in the fourth quarter against Michigan State. Iowa scored 13 fourth-quarter points, including Drew Stevens’ game-winning, 44-yard field goal as time expired.
Though it delivered plenty of gray hairs, Iowa’s walk-off winner also created the perfect opportunity for social media to erupt in celebration.
