Kirk Ferentz said Iowa WR Apollo Payne is going by a new name this week — Jeremiah Payne. The former All-Stater at Prairie has been playing the role of Ohio State star WR Jeremiah Smith on the #Hawkeyes’ scout team this week.

Kirk Ferentz on running game against Iowa State, Michigan: Usually takes a little better blocking, a little better running. … We’re a team in growth and progress right now. Iowa averaged 2.8 yards per attempt on 53 attempts against the two.

Kirk Ferentz on Ohio State: It’s a little bit easier to talk about them than go out and compete against them.

Iowa’s captains remain Zach Lutmer, Deshaun Lee, Jayden Montgomery and Addison Ostrenga for a Week 5 matchup against No. 5 Ohio State.

“2 is going to deliver in the biggest moments.” Iowa QB Hank Brown breaks down the final play in the #Hawkeyes 20-19 win over Michigan and why he went to Reece Vander Zee.

REECE VANDER ZEE OH MY!!! Iowa walks off Michigan 20-19 on the final play of the game. What a win!

Misread the clock. ball on the 16.

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Iowa's going to have a shot at the end zone from the 14 here. Crazy finish!

4D chess by Tony to make the candy shop comment knowing it'd draw a critical flag in the fourth quarter.

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Iowa burns its final timeout. It has 34 seconds. It's second-and-7 from the Iowa 45. Wonder how much time is left on the super secret clock?

042

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Ostrenga needs to get his head around sooner. That's a first down if he gets eyes on it faster.

010

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Iowa will need to drive 90 yards to walk this one off.

Caden Buhr misses a 50-yard field after a false start costs Iowa a chance at a fourht-and-1. Michigan takes over with a 19-14 lead.

010

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Iowa is not playing very complementary football today. Defense gets some improbable, timely stops and the offense does nothing. The offense scores a big touchdown, defense gives up a 6-play, 75-yard touchdown drive which lasted all of two minutes.

000

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Bryce Underwood escapes the pocket and loops a 49-yard pass to JJ Buchanan for the go-ahead touchdown. Tyler Brown looks to have been limping after Buchanan following the catch. Michigan fails on the two-point try. Q4 11:59 | Iowa 14, Mich 19.

131

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Iowa answers! Brown finds RVZ for a 16-yard TD to put Iowa in front 14-13. That was a 7-play, 75-yard drive for the score.

050

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Michigan fans want an illegal touching call on DJ Vonnahme. He was out of bounds before making the catch, but he clearly got forced out. Officials are reviewing if Brown was behind the LOS and if DJ Vonnahme made the catch legally. I think the 21-yard gain stands.

010

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Bryce Underwood is 10 yards shy of his season-high passing yards (223) which he set last week against UTEP.

000

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

This is Iowa's longest drive since the first drive of the game. First Drive: 6 plays, 33 yards Current: 5 plays, 38 yards

000

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Tony Diaz signs of life. Brown finds the UTRGV transfer for 32 yards.

010

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Q3 1:29 | Iowa 7, Mich 13 Wolverines settle for a field goal. Butkowski connects on the 22-yarder. Iowa's defense is doing enough to keep it close. They're giving up yards between the 20s, but keeping Michigan out of the endzone. The Hawkeyes' offense desperately needs to do something here.

010

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Michigan got a brutal spot on that first and goal play. Spotted at the five. Underwood's knee went down at the four and he was falling forward.

000

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

They gained five yards and punted.

100

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

That's a big interception to take points off the board. Iowa's defense has come up with some big stops to limit the damage. Offense needs to pay them back.

030

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

That's the first half. Iowa manages 77 yards of total offense, but escapes a Michigan-dominated first half trailing by just 3. Some self-inflicted mistakes took points off the board for the Wolverines. Iowa 7, Michigan 10

010

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Evan James muffs the punt, but gets back on it. Will be interesting to see if he goes back out for the next punt or if it is RVZ.

010

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Low snap, pocket collapses, Hank tries to escape and gets sacked. Iowa offense needs to find some answers at halftime. They'll be headed to the locker room with 72 total yards and averaging 2.1 per rush.

051

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Hank Brown just got bailed out by RVZ. That's a turnover-worthy pass BIG time.

030

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Underwood is short. Iowa takes over on downs. Really questionable playcall there from Michigan.

060

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Bryce Underwood tries to jump over the top on fourth and a long 1. Doesn't look like he got it.

020

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Michigan hits a flea flicker for a big gain. Underwood to Buchanan for a gain of 32. Iowa's defense needs to find something here.

000

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

There's the first sack of the season on Hank, and it's completely Hank's fault. Tried to run up the middle and got collapsed on. Had Diaz for a gain of at least 5. Iowa punts.

010

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Q2 12:58 | Iowa 7, Mich 10 Trey Butkowski connects on a 41-yard field goal. The Wolverines are back in front. Nice response from the Iowa defense to bow up after letting Michigan get down into the red zone.

000

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Idk about that flag on Tyler Brown.

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Q1 1:45 | Iowa 7, Mich 7 The Wolverines held the lead for 13 seconds. Braeden Jackson 99-yard touchdown return.

041

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Michigan goes down the field and scores the game's first touchdown. Underwood hits Utah transfer JJ Buchanan from 18 yards out to put the Wolverines in front. Q1 1:58 | Iowa 0, Mich 7

010

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Ruling on the field was catch. Ruling is upheld. Andrew Marsh with a pair of big catches on this drive to get Michigan into Iowa territory. He has gains of 27 and 20 on this possession.

010

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Iowa goes three-and-out and punts. Boston Everitt boots it to the Mich 11.

110

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

A false start and a hold turn a 3rd & 5 into 3rd & 20 for Michigan. The Wolverines punt and Evan James fair catches it at the Iowa 40.

020

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Boston Everitt pins Michigan on its own 3.

010

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Dueling timeouts before this fourth-and-1 from the Mich 45. Brown lined up in shotgun and actually got the snap. Looked like a called QB power.

001

Ethan Petrik @ethanpetrik.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

You like what you see so far from the #Hawkeyes offense.
