Iowa wide receiver Diante Vines runs the ball during a football game between Iowa and Western Michigan at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City on Saturday, Sept. 16, 2023. The Hawkeyes defeated the Broncos, 41-10. Vines had 7 receiving yards and one touchdown.

The highlight of the Hawkeyes’ opening drive came on third-and-14, when quarterback Deacon Hill, rather than checking the ball down to running back Jaziun Patterson, opted to scramble out of the pocket and hit a leaping Diante Vines for a 36-yard gain to put the Hawkeyes in the red zone. After further review, the ruling on the field of a catch was confirmed. 

The 36-yard grab produced more receiving yards for Vines than he had in the Hawkeyes’ previous two games.
