IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The University of Iowa football team was at Pittsburgh on Sept. 20 and trailed, 20-17, entering the fourth quarter. It was third-and-7 for the Hawkeyes and the Panthers called a blitz against young and inexperienced backup quarterback C.J. Beathard.
Beathard's first receiver was covered, forcing him to hold the football, knowing a hit was imminent. The result of the play was a 10-yard completion to tight end Ray Hamilton. The Hawkeyes found the end zone 10 plays later and won, 24-20.
