Iowa kicker Drew Stevens kicks a game-winning field goal during the 2023 Wildcats Classic, a football game between Iowa and Northwestern at Wrigley Field in Chicago on Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023. Stevens secured the win with 14 seconds left in the game, kicking a 52-yard field goal. The Hawkeyes defeated the Wildcats, 10-7.

With less than two minutes to go in the fourth quarter, Iowa needed to get within field goal range, and QB Deacon Hill and the offense did just that, taking the ball 37 yards, highlighted by a 23-yard toss to receiver Kaleb Brown, his longest catch of the season. Then, from 52 yards, Stevens made good on his second attempt, giving Iowa a late lead with less than 20 seconds remaining and hitting an impromptu celebration in front of a raucous Hawkeye crowd.
