Legends & Listeners: Iowa’s Miracle in Ann Arbor, Hank Brown and The Hawkeyes’ Biggest Test
Iowa vs. Ohio State is here, College GameDay is coming to Kinnick Stadium, and Legends & Listeners breaks down everything surrounding the biggest Hawkeye game of the season. Chad Leistikow and Scott Dochterman look back at Iowa’s incredible 20-19 win over Michigan, including Hank Brown’s game-winning 91-yard drive, Reece Vander Zee’s walk-off touchdown catch, the emergence of Iowa’s passing game, and why the Hawkeyes may have finally found their quarterback.

The guys also discuss Iowa’s recent history against Ohio State, the 2017 upset, the importance of avoiding turnovers and big plays, and why this could be a very different game than the 2022 meeting.
