Central Michigan stuns Iowa 32-31 on late FG

But the Hawkeyes kept giving the Chippewas chances, and David Harman made them pay dearly on the last one.

Harman drilled a career-long 47-yard field goal with 3 seconds left as the Chippewas scored nine points in the final 45 seconds and stunned Iowa 32-31 on Saturday.

"Certainly not much fun for us out there," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. "I tell our team all the time. We get what we deserve, and that's what we got."

Still, Iowa appeared set to sneak out of Kinnick Stadium with a narrow victory after Weisman's 12-yard TD run with 2:18 to go for a 31-23 lead. Then the Hawkeyes completely blew it.

Central Michigan (2-1) pulled within 31-29 on Ryan Radcliff's 13-yard TD throw to Titus Davis. The Chippewas failed on the two-point conversion, but they recovered an onside kick and moved to Iowa's 30-yard line in part because of a personal foul on the Hawkeyes (2-2).

Harman had the wind at his back on his wobbling winner, handing Iowa one of its most improbable defeats in 14 years under Ferentz.

"I had to get the clarification that it crossed the crossbar. But for the most part, I knew," Harman said.

Radcliff threw for 283 yards and two touchdowns for Central Michigan, while Mark Weisman ran for 217 yards and three touchdowns in a losing effort for Iowa.

The Hawkeyes will regret this ending for the rest of the year — and likely for years to come.

Iowa's defense, which hadn't allowed a second-half touchdown in two weeks, broke down at the worst possible time.

Central Michigan moved 64 yards in just 1:33, and Titus walked into the end zone after his defender fell down. But Iowa's secondary forced Radcliff into a high throw on the conversion try, and the Hawkeyes were an onside kick recovery away from a 3-1 start.

The fun was just beginning for the upstart Chippewas.

Central Michigan was called for a delay-of-game penalty on its first onside kick. But all that did was provide another shot for the Chippewas, who recovered on their own 42-yard line.

"We just looked like we were frozen out there," Ferentz said.

Iowa defensive lineman Joe Gaglione then got into it with a Central Michigan player and was called for a back-breaking 15-yard personal foul penalty.
