Summary —The Hawkeyes got one touchdown taken away, a second stood. As the third quarter wound down, Stanzi hit Paul Chaney Jr. for an apparent 44-yard touchdown after a 29-yard pass from Stanzi to Trey Stross was upheld after a review. The touchdown was negated by an Iowa holding penalty. Six plays later, Iowa made a score stick. Stanzi found Tony Moeaki for a six-yard scoring pass. That play, too, was reviewed and upheld to give Iowa its first lead since early in the first quarter. The Panthers closed to within one point with a 39-yard field goal with 4 minutes, 26 seconds remaining. Then, UNI had two chances to win, but Iowa blocked two field-goal attempts as the seconds ticked off the clock.
