EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Iowa needed blocked field goals on consecutive plays to beat FCS opponent Northern Iowa in its Sept. 5 opener.
The Hawkeyes needed 16 points in the fourth quarter to beat Penn State on the road, and an interception in the final minutes to defeat Michigan at home. And then Iowa had to come from behind in the second half to win at Wisconsin last week.
"We've already had a couple [miracles]," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. "I hope we're not using them all up."
With the way things have gone for the Hawkeyes this season, Ferentz might want to make sure he keeps at least one in his pocket.
Iowa might just need one in Pasadena, Calif., in early January.
