Iowa's own Rudy story

well...........

kinda sorta............

Marshall Meeder , a senior who had played at Central Michigan , thought his career was over , until Iowa picked up his final year eligibility , brought him in as a back up kicker

in the final regular season game of the year , Marshall Meeder had yet to see the field in a Hawkeyes uniform , on a cold and cloudy day in Lincoln Nebraska , Iowa kicker Drew Stevens struggled , two kick offs that went out of bounds , and two missed field goals

so...........

with the game tied at 10-10 , and only 4 seconds left on the clock , in front of 86.000 Nebraska fans , Kirk Ferentz , make the call , to sit Drew Stevens and send in the back up who has never seen the field in a P5 football game

the last play in the last regular season game of the year

and as they say , the rest is history
