Looking back at the 2017 Iowa football season, Nate Stanley was on pace to break Chuck Long‘s single-season touchdown record (27) after a five-touchdown performance in arguably the Hawkeyes most surprising regular season win at Kinnick Stadium. It wasn’t just the fact the Iowa upset #5 Ohio State, but they flat out dominated them.
Stanley could do no wrong that day, highlighted by a touchdown pass to T.J. Hockenson in the back of the endzone with Ohio State defensive end Sam Hubbard draped around Stanley’s legs. However, he followed that magical day with a dud performance the following week with just 41 passing yards and an interception at Wisconsin.
