The Iowa Hawkeyes are once again celebrating a game they really had no business winning.

Against Nebraska on Friday night, Iowa had just five first downs to the Cornhuskers' 20. The Hawkeyes were out-gained 334 yards to 164 (including 144-49 yards rushing) and held the ball for just 20 minutes compared to Nebraska's 39.

Yet it all came down to a 53-yard field goal attempt at the end of the night by Iowa junior Drew Stevens.

Entering Friday, Stevens was 7-13 on kicks from 50 yards or further — including 3-7 this season. Maybe that's partly why he described blacking out when he launched a game-winner against the Huskers that snuck right through the uprights.

Iowa 13, Nebraska 10.

"I black[ed] out, I have no idea," Stevens said. "I don't know how I got here, I don't know how I got there. All instinct."

It is extremely likely Stevens was one of many people on Iowa's campus who said the same thing after Friday night.
