Caden Buhr kicks late field goal as No. 21 Iowa edges Iowa State
Summary

Caden Buhr kicked a 42-yard field goal with 15 seconds remaining to secure a 16-13 victory for No. 21 Iowa against Iowa State on Saturday night in Iowa City. The winning drive spanned 31 yards over nine plays, ending after Xavier Williams was stopped on third down. Iowa State jumped to a 10-0 lead in the second quarter, but the Hawkeyes responded with a 1-yard touchdown run from Hank Brown and a 45-yard field goal before halftime.
