No. 19 Iowa rallies to beat Iowa State, 18-17

Associated Press  

AMES, Iowa — In a rivalry as tight and as heated as Iowa and Iowa State, it’s usually the little things that make the difference. Nate Stanley threw for 201 yards and ran for a score, and Iowa made a big fourth-down stop late in the game that allowed the Hawkeyes to beat Iowa State 18-17 on Saturday night. Keith Duncan kicked four field goals for the Hawkeyes, who improved to 4-0 against Iowa State coach Matt Campbell in a game twice delayed nearly 3 hours because of lightning. Connor Assalley’s 26-yard field goal gave Iowa State the lead with 7:46 to go but Duncan answered from 39 yards with 4:51 left with what proved to be the game-winning kick. Though they weren’t necessarily tough kicks, Duncan is now 8 of 8 this season.. Four different Iowa players had at least three catches, led by Nico Ragaini with five for 43 yards.. Iowa State outgained Iowa 418 to 313, but the Hawkeyes held the ball for 34:58.. Milton finished with eight catches for 144 yards.
