IOWA CITY, Iowa -- You dont have to be a student of Iowa football history to appreciate how the Hawkeyes upset No. 3 Michigan 14-13 on Saturday night. The game will stand on its own until the youngest Hawkeyes fan among the 70,585 at Kinnick Stadium is old and gray.Iowa freshman kicker Keith Duncan drilled a 33-yard field goal through the uprights in the south end zone as time expired, then sprinted 35 yards in the opposite direction before being buried beneath a joyous, heaving mass of teammates.I just took off, Duncan said. I didnt really know what to do. You dont really practice those things.The game will stand on its own because it helped stand the College Football Playoff ranking on its head. Michigan (9-1) joined No. 2 Clemson and No. 4 Washington among the days upset victims. It stood the Big Ten East on its ear, because No. 10 Penn State, with one loss, will win the division if Ohio State beats Michigan.But enough about Saturday. If you remember that on this same field 31 years ago -- the opposite end zone but the same field -- No. 1 Iowa defeated No. 2 Michigan, 12-10, when the sainted Rob Houghtlin drilled a 29-yard field goal, then you know what this game will mean in Hawkeyes history. The angels still sing in this state every time Houghtlins name is said aloud. You might even remember that the Wolverines quarterback that day, Jim Harbaugh, had to relive the same devastating finish Saturday night.You could count the people who saw both games from the field on one hand. But you would include both head coaches. Kirk Ferentz, the Hawkeyes boss, was their 30-year-old offensive line coach the first time this happened.The electricity in Kinnick that date in 85, late kickoff, it was special just like tonight, Ferentz said. The beauty of an Upset Saturday is that you never know when they are going to arrive. This game didnt appear to be a candidate. Michigan seeming to grow stronger and faster with every week. The Wolverines had won seven of their nine games by at least 17 points, and humiliated Maryland, 59-3, a week ago.Iowa, meanwhile, had lost at No. 10 Penn State 41-14 in a game that wasnt as close as the score indicated. The loss dropped the Hawkeyes, Big Ten West champions a year ago, to 5-4.A week ago at this time, none of us were having much fun, said Ferentz, the human carpenters level. ... Really simply, youve only got two options. You surrender and mope and feel sorry for yourself, or you do something about it.The Hawkeyes awoke Sunday morning and, as if they were a locker room of 85 Richard Shermans, they forgot. They moved on to the next play.They practiced well. They talked about how if they could find a way to beat Michigan, the fans would storm the field. On Thursday, senior quarterback C.J. Beathard checked in with junior linebacker Josey Jewell. Were ready to go, Jewell said to him. Give us 14 points and well win the game.Jewell smiled sheepishly when asked about it. He has never said anything like that before.I just saw it in peoples eyes, Jewell said. People believed. People knew. Were not out of this yet.Iowa got its 14, just not in the traditional two-touchdown fashion: a safety, a touchdown, a missed two-point conversion, and two field goals. Everything else about this win looked traditional. Take the defenses. Michigan limited Iowa to 230 total yards, which was 29 more than the Wolverines gained. Think about that: the Michigan offense came into the game averaging 497.1 yards. Not only did the Wolverines gain nearly 300 yards below their average, the two teams combined fell well short of it, too.I told the offense that this would probably not be pretty, Iowa offensive coordinator Greg Davis said.The Hawkeyes won because they made fewer mistakes. Michigan, which had turned the ball over only six times in nine games, gave up two in the second half.Little miscommunications, Michigan quarterback Wilton Speight said, stuff in the huddle, obviously that starts with me, guys being able to hear play calls and stuff, because they [the Iowa fans] were going nuts.They won because junior back Akrum Wadley slithered around and through the Wolverines to rush for 115 yards, as well as five receptions for 52 yards and that touchdown.They won because freshman corner Manny Rugamba, pressed into action on the opposite side of All-American Desmond King, responded with three passes broken up and an interception.With Michigan leading 10-0 late in the first half, Iowa defensive tackle Jaleel Johnson burst through the line and tackled Wolverines tailback DeVeon Smith for a safety. The Hawkeyes took the ensuing kick and drove 52 yards for a touchdown. Ferentz, rarely a riverboat gambler, went for two to tie the score, but Adrian Falconer dropped Beathards pass in the end zone.But Duncan made two field goals in the second half. The first, a 25-yarder, capitalized on Michigan fullback Khalid Hills fumble of the second-half kickoff. That gave Iowa an 11-10 lead, the first time Michigan had trailed after halftime since the Colorado game in Week 3.The second one changed Duncans life. Actually, it changed the life of everyone wearing black and gold, from the players to the fans.Thats why you do this, whether its in Kinnick or a parking lot, Ferentz said. The feeling that everybody had in the locker room, of achievement, the feeling of doing something really significant during the course of the week, and having it show up on the field, thats whats life is all about.Forget the parking lot. It had to be in Kinnick, against Michigan, thanks to a field goal as time expired. History demanded it be just so. Cheap MLB Jerseys China .

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling and others agreed to a $2.5 million settlement to end their part of a lawsuit brought over Rhode Islands disastrous $75 million deal with 38 Studios, his failed video game company.If approved by the judge overseeing the lawsuit, the agreement filed Monday with four 38 Studios officials brings an end to Schillings involvement in the case. Schilling has strenuously denied wrongdoing and said the company failed in 2012 in part because the state didnt do enough to help. Neither he nor the other company officials admit liability in the settlement with the Rhode Island Commerce Corp., the states economic development agency.Retired Superior Court Judge Francis Darigan, who was acting as mediator in the case, said during a news conference that none of the defendants would pay out of pocket. Instead, 38 Studios insurance company would pay.No one is going to be perfectly satisfied with this, Darigan said. Its a practical move on the part of the state.The Commerce Corp. signed off on the deal after it determined through an exhaustive study that the combined assets of Schilling and the other three would not exceed $2.5 million, Darigan said. He added that the attorney who did the review was satisfied that there were no hidden assets that could be reached.Schilling has said in the past that he lost as much as $50 million of his own money that he invested in 38 Studios. Darigan said the examination of his finances was confidential, and he himself did not know the details.Schilling was fired by ESPN this year for unacceptable conduct following an insulting post he made on Facebook about transgender people.He recently signed a contract to host an online radio show. Darigann said that contract was part of the information the Commerce Corp.dddddddddddd lawyer had considered when examining assets.Schilling tweeted Monday afternoon that he wanted to tell his side of the story publicly once all is approved, but did not say when that would be.If Superior Court Judge Michael Silverstein approves the settlement, it would bring the amount of settlements in the case so far to about $45 million, and leave one defendant, First Southwest, which acted as Rhode Islands financial adviser in the deal.Lawyers for the Commerce Corp. asked the court to approve the settlement, saying in court documents that its a highly unusual case in which it makes no economic sense whatsoever for the parties to proceed to trial rather than proceed with the proposed settlement.38 Studios agreed to move to Rhode Island from Massachusetts in 2010 in exchange for a $75 million state loan guarantee. It went bankrupt less than two years later.Democratic Gov. Gina Raimondo reiterated Monday that she thinks 38 Studios was a bad deal for the states residents. She said shes focused on recovering as much taxpayer money as possible and her team is preparing for trial with the remaining defendant.About $2 million from Mondays settlement will be applied to paying back bonds, according to the Commerce Corp. It said Rhode Island taxpayers would still owe about $28.2 million on the bonds.Rhode Island last month reached its biggest settlement in the case, amounting to $25.6 million from Wells Fargo Securities and Barclays Capital Inc.---Associated Press writer Jennifer McDermott contributed to this report.
