"IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Atticus Sappington kicked a 39-yard field goal with 3 seconds left, and No. 9 Oregon escaped with an 18-16 win over No. 20 Iowa on a rainy Saturday. Dante Moore led a 10-play, 54-yard drive to set up Sappington's third field goal of the game, connecting with Malik Benson for 24 yards to get the Ducks (8-1, 5-1 Big Ten) into range for the winning kick."
"The matchup between two of the country's top scoring defenses lived up to the numbers. Iowa ranked fourth, allowing 12.4 points per game, while Oregon was sixth at 13.5. The Ducks got a 19-yard touchdown run from Dierre Hill Jr. in the second quarter to go with Sappington's field goals. Oregon also got a safety when Iowa punter Rhys Dakin was called for an illegal kick after trying to knock the ball out of the back of the end zone after a bad snap."
"Gronowski threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to D.J. Vonnahme in the second quarter. The Hawkeyes also got a 58-yard field goal from Drew Stevens in the fourth quarter that matched the longest kick in program history. The Hawkeyes, who had won 21 of their past 23 games in November, saw their CFP hopes dashed despite an almost a seven-minute edge in time of possession."
Oregon escaped with an 18-16 victory over Iowa via a 39-yard field goal by Atticus Sappington with 3 seconds remaining.
