11:00 pm
35 yards by wadley. he has watched barkley shine on the other side, and finally in the second half, wadley has gotten free for a couple of big plays. 70-yard reception. with a 35-yard touchdown run. >> referee: charged time-out, iowa. their third and final time-out. >> kirk: penn state is out of position with their linebackers and safeties. watch how they kind of communicating, trying to make sure they are on the same page. at the last second, they move to the right, and by moving to the right, there's nobody left to the left for the offense, and once the defensive line is separated, the linebackers and safeties are gone. they are all aligned to the other side, and wadley has such speed, once he got into the second level, there's no one there. he hands the ball to the official after last week where
11:01 pm
he high stepped it in. >> chris: so iowa up by four. the offense on the field to again, go for two. they will bump it to a six point lead. two iowa touchdown drives in the fourth quarter. 74 yards from three plays. 80 yards in three plays. this has been a complete role reversal. it's penn state grinding away methodically. iowa striking quickly, barely having the football. completely dominated and outgained all night. a monster night by that guy, and then penn state down four. >> kirk: remember, 1:42. two time-outs and a lot of time for penn state. >> chris: here's the two-point try.
11:02 pm
stanley. flips it high, and no chance for anyone to make the play. airmail it out of the end zone. so the lead is still four. 1:42. talked about the history. the last three top five teams that have come in here, and been beat including penn state on a field goal in 2008. it was a beatdown with the fifth ranked spartans two years later, and of course, the primetime game. keith duncan with the walkoff winner. the hard winner for the hawkeyes. they are setting up for the another field goal for iowa to take the lead, when wadley breaks free, and now suddenly, a field goal does penn state no good. >> kirk: this is going to have a different feel from those other upsets because now it's a hawkeye defense that has been asked to do a lot tonight. do they have one more stop in then to be able to secure this victory or can trace mcsorley and saquon barkley come up with the plays they need to get that
11:03 pm
touchdown to possibly win this game for penn state? >> chris: akrum wadley, a guy that is not yet in the doghouse. that's overblown and completely inaccurate. his team mitmates love him. positive attitude, and always has a smile on his face. coaches love him too. barkley. not back there. miles sanders pressure legs on the return. out to the 20. under the allstate all hands in bus is helping find great te teamwo teamwork, and who is the team of the week? >> kirk: we pick one, and this week's team is tcu on the road in stillwater. how about darius anderson? makes the big catches as well. three touchdowns. you can see it's their first win in stillwater since 1991. congrats to gary patterson and
11:04 pm
the hornfrogs. >> chris: now trace mcsorley, who was deeply disappointed by that loss at the rose bowl wants to use that disappointment this season as a chance to really lay penn state from behind by four. from the pocket, mcsorley flips it short. catch made by juwan johnson who breaks free across the 30. saved the time-out. >> kirk: save the time-out. he has the two time-outs. >> chris: batted down to the line. one more time. iowa gets a hand up, and hesse made that play. >> kirk: everybody seems to be taking a turn on knocking ball down tonight. from trace mcsorley. who will be the guy that's going to have a chance? all night, it has been saquon barkley, but in these
11:05 pm
situations, he can catch it in the backfield, but ga secretary and who can get it? >> chris: and mcsorley heaves it into the bench. they are going to have a conversation over whether this is grounding or not. >> kirk: that's the question. did he get outside of the tackle box? >> referee: foul for grounding. he was outside the tackle box when the ball made it to the line of scrimmage. >> chris: here is the tackle box. as long as that goes beyond the line of scrimmage, it doesn't matter. third and 10. low snap. mcsorley steps up, delivers. barkley dragged down short of the first down by josey jewell.
11:06 pm
one more chapter in that duel tonight, and a time-out. franklin will spend it with 58 seconds. two yards short on fourth down now. >> kirk: josey jewell has been asked to do everything tonight. trying to stop barkley, and this is the toughest thing you can be asked to do, and play against him man-to-man in the pass game. you're out there in space trying to take saquon barkley down, staying close enough to him in congress that wh coverage that when he makes the play, you have to tackle him. it's one thing to cover him, but you have to tackle him. >> chris: they may have to tackle him one more time. let's see if they look to another play maker or be number 26. they have a chance the finish the game and win it right here. joe moorehead is an innovative thinker and as good as barkley is, you wonder, if you use him in any way as a decoy to get the defense out of position the maybe go to another guy and be able to make a play?
11:07 pm
how much does barkley have left in the tank? 28 carries, 11 receptions. broken a school record for all-purpose yards. to him, it won't matter unless he gets two more yards here. iowa up. pressing the line of scrimmage. m mcsorley, to throw. caught. first down. saeed blacknall in traffic, and the lions have life at the 46. >> kirk: how about the throw and the catch? gutsy call. he has had so many of those throwsi throws knocked down by the iowa defense. >> chris: clock moving again. 45 seconds. from the pocket, mcsorley es scap escapes and has a lot off room. slides down, and they will stop the clock briefly at the 42. >> kirk: he is going to hold onto that time-out, and beginning to call from the sidelines. the two backup quarterbacks
11:08 pm
saving the call for everybody, and not just mcsorley. penn state ready to go, and they save the time-out. >> chris: inside of 30 seconds. mcsorley, will get to escape again. flips it downfield, and it's caught. johnson got behind the defender. shoved out at the 24. >> kirk: how about johnson improvising? he runs a hitch and gives up on it, and he sees the quarterback in trouble and takes off behind the corner and finds an opening. great recognition to make the throw for the first down. >> chris: 24 he couseconds to . with. mcsorley flips it at the last minute. barkley, still running and scoots out of bounds at the 10. made a man miss. 15 seconds to play. >> kirk: he saves the time-out by getting out of bounds. it's been all night. why not one of the last plays of
11:09 pm
the game? shake right there. gets by him, and he is able to pick up five or eight more yards and he gets out of bounds so they don't have to be in hurry-up mode. >> chris: you have to take an immediate time-out. tackled at the field of play. first and goal. throwing a far side. gesicki makes a catch and they use four seconds and get about two yards. three yards. >> kirk: i think he wanted to get the ball to johnson downfield, and instead of throwing it away, he flips it to gesicki for a couple of yards. >> chris: how great is this? iowa's defense, and penn state's offense has been the battle all night. this is where the ball has been all night, and iowa has won their fair share of these balls. what happens in the final sequence? mcsorley has time. flips it near side. no chance to make a play.
11:10 pm
thompkins, very well covered by rugam rugamba. seven seconds to go. >> kirk: this is where trace mcsorley has to allow the play to develop. he can't predetermine where he wants to go with the ball. that time, if he would have given daesean hamilton the ball, he would have had a chance to get into the end zone. he got blocked this. read the defense, make the right call and flip the ball out. johnson has the size advantage against josh jackson. >> chris: mcsorley looking to the sidelines. making the adjustments. play clock at seven. the crowd is deafens. ing. flip back. batted down for the sixth time tonight. the hawkeyes get a hand, and it's anthony nelson. down to one play. >> kirk: i think penn state catches a break by this ball gets knocked down. he almost comes up with the interception. for a big guy, but if hamilton
11:11 pm
catches that football, he is tackled immediately by three different hawkeye defenders and who knows how much clock is left? by being an incomplete pass, the clock stops and it gives penn state one last chance from the 7 yard line. >> chris: and the offense that has piled up 572 yards tonight, and tremendous balance that has often stalled down inside the 10. they need seven yards to akrovo the upset. >> kirk: i like to watch the offensive coordinator how calm he is as he communicates with trace mcsorley and the rest of the offense. he is right here. watch how he is just talking. he is talking and you see barkley now. he is in that huddle. last guy. why not, man? why not give the ball to 26 somehow, some way? win or lose, with saquon barkley right here. >> chris: mr. jewell will be
11:12 pm
eyeballing him as well as his buddies. one play to decide it. mcsorley, across the middle. touchdown! juwan johnson, penn state wins it. a walkoff touchdown. wow. >> kirk: an 80-yard drive in 12 plays. 1:42. and trace mcsorley, cool. on that final drive. >> chris: it is a final. they have to snap it for a two-point try, but you just take a knee, and penn state is going to avoid the upset trap on the game's final play. >> kirk: what -- what a game first of all. josey jewell, iowa.
11:13 pm
great effort. trace mcsorley when the game was on the line. the last play, shows he is a winner. this kid has been a winner since he is in high school. led his team to four straight championships. watch this. i said, which receiver would eventually come up with the play? he works to the inside a little outside move. and is able to get to the -- into the inside of the defensive back. the ball is thrown on time. over the top of 27, hooker, somehow for the touchdown, and by the way, you know what barkley did on that play? picked up a blitz. picked up a blitz to be unselfish. we thought he might get the ball. instead, he picks up the blitz to help his quarterback have more time. >> chris: it's a victory formation and a punt into the sky by mcsorley, and a frustrated night. he had an interception, he had a fumble. hadn't had a touchdown pass all night, but does so for the 19th
11:14 pm
consecutive game in his last chance to do it. >> kirk: just an incredible game. again, watch barkley. he picks up the blitz. how this ball gets over the top of hooker, 27, just gets over him into the hands of juwan johnson, who had beaten his man. >> chris: and juwan johnson makes his first career touchdown reception a magical one. to beat iowa in the game's final play. winner is right. james franklin, it was saquon all night until the final drive when it was mcsorley and the receivers getting involved. let's go down to maria taylor. >> maria: down here with saquon and james franklin, and coach, it wasn't easy, but it came down to four seconds and fourth and 7. what were you are telling your offense before they took the fields again? >> you have to give your hat off to iowa. they played unbelievably well. the environment here was tremendous, so much respect.
11:15 pm
but, you know, our team believes. we have done this for two years. we believe. we didn't play the way we wanted to play today, but they played unbelievable. they made us earn it. i thought our defense was unbelievable. great field position, and we weren't able to get an end zone. >> maria: what about the play by trace, and step up when things were not going well? >> we had substitution at our tackle and he was battling all day long, so the sacks is what really hurt us, the sacks and fumbl fumbles, but trace is one of the toughest guys i have been r around. he never stops believing. this guy was unbelievable. i didn't get a chance to watch him from advanced perspective, but from coach's player, i can't imagine a better player in the country. this guy. >> maria: 300 yards of total offense from you in all-purpose yards. what was working for you? >> we knew iowa was a physical team. they are known for being
11:16 pm
physical, and weep wanted to se the tone. for trace and the running backs as well. we wanted to get the run game established and they weren't giving us anything deep, and made us earn everything, and trace did an unbelievable job of going through the progression, and i was able to mix and get some yards. >> maria: making guys miss and jump over guys. when did you see the guy coming and when you were going to hurdle a defender? >> it was third down, and it was in the middle of the game, and coach coaches that you have to get the first down, and whatever you got to do, and whatever it takes. sometimes just to get by, you let go, and you let god, and i was able to give it to god and get the drive and keep going. >> maria: we saw you walking off, and how does your body feel? >> my body feels great. we won. we have to give credit to iowa. they were tough, and it's what they are known for, and the iowa
11:17 pm
defense played a great game, and it was a great game overall. >> maria: congrats on the win. >> appreciate it. >> chris: an ice tub. school record for all-purpose yards, and how about mcsorley? 7 of 11. 68 yards, and finally, a touchdown pass tonight. also ran for 12 yards. >> kirk: you get challenged lie like this on the road, and iowa gave penn state everything. you get challenged and you are a championship team, and you have to come up with an answer. >> chris: everything they had to avoid the upset tonight. 21 the hard way. a couple of field goals, a safety and two touchdowns including a walkoff touchdown pass, mcsorley to johnson. a classic in iowa city. 21-29. hope you enjoyed it. next saturday night, we'll see you at another magical environment, blacksburg, virginia. clemson and virginia tech, 8:00 eastern over on abc. time now for the ford wrap-up
