There have now been two last-second, game-winning field goals kicked at Kinnick Stadium this fall.
The latest: Keith Duncan's 33-yarder to give Iowa a 14-13 victory over No. 3 Michigan on Saturday night.
The first: Cam Pedersen's 37-yarder Sept. 17 to give North Dakota State a 23-21 victory over Iowa.
And the five-time defending FCS champs want to make sure no one forgets.

You'll notice the pink visitors' locker room in that photo. Michigan covered up the walls, and legendary Coach Hayden Fry would have assuredly picked the Hawkeyes after seeing that.
As Fry wrote in his book, A High Porch, "When I talk to an opposing coach before a game and he mentions the pink walls, I know I've got him. I can't recall a coach who has stirred up a fuss about the color and then beat us."
