Your Northern Iowa two deeps . . .

Here's an excerpt from the game post in 2009:

IOWA CITY -- This was passing an Appalachian State-sized kidney stone.

That's really the only point of reference you need. Of course, you remember Appalachian State going up to the Big House and upsetting Michigan to open the 2007 season.

The FCS school upsetting the Big Ten BCS bully. A national noisemaker on week 1.

"It was a little Appalachian State-ish," Iowa linebacker A.J. Edds said.

It was an FCS-sized kidney stone for the Hawkeyes. They passed it, painfully and ever so closely, 17-16, before 70,585 shocked fans Saturday at Kinnick Stadium.

Iowa defensive end Broderick Binns blocked Billy Hallgren's first 40-yard field goal attempt with seven seconds left. After a seven-minute review and with one second left on the clock, linebacker Jeremiha Hunter reached up with his right hand and smacked down Hallgren's second chance and the No. 22 Hawkeyes (1-0) escaped FCS No. 4 Northern Iowa (0-1).

What's the real-life equivalent of back-to-back blocked field goals?

"I feel like that'd be hitting green on roulette two times in a row, maybe," said Iowa quarterback Ricky Stanzi, whose 6-yard touchdown pass to tight end Tony Moeaki with 13:18 left in the fourth quarter proved to be the game-winner. "That's what I thought of right away. It's like hitting green twice in a row.

"That doesn't happen very often."

-- This week's two deeps.

-- Iowa will host Central Michigan at 11 a.m. CT on Saturday, Sept. 22 in Kinnick Stadium.  The game will be televised on the BTN..
