Re: Swing Your Sword: Mike Leach's Second Chance
Indiana Falls Short on Last Second Field Goal
Iowa City, IA -- Dusty Kiel raises his hands in excitement and disbelief. Kofi Hughes turns and points back down the field at his quarterback and howls with excitement. Why? Because the two had just connected for a 91 yard touchdown with just 0:35 to go in the game and had tied the score at 42. Overtime, right? Wrong. Iowa took the kickoff and with all three timeouts needed just three completions to be in Mike Meyer's field goal range. Meyer calmly nailed the 44 yard field goal as time expired to give the Hawkeyes a narrow 45-42 victory.
"I hate it. I hate it for our players who fought their tails off to keep us in that game and put us in position to win. Losing like that, at the final gun, hurts worse than anything. I was so proud with how we played, especially on offense, and to lose like that well...it kills me." -Mike Leach
The two teams combined to score 45 fourth quarter points after playing to a 28-28 stand-still through three quarters. Iowa tallied 602 yards of total offense while Indiana gained 526. Iowa quarterback James Vanderberg went 24/43 for 336 yards and two touchdowns, while Dusty Kiel for Indiana was 22/46 for 423 yards and three touchdowns.
