aempt following the Rudock score.

within 26-24 with 5:01 remaining. Wisconsin

then converted two rst downs on its nal

In each of the last eight years, an eventual NFL rst-round dra

pick started on the oensive line. Brandon Scher, selected by th

Washington Redskins h overall in 2015, was Iowa’s le tack

from 2012-14. Riley Rei, selected 23rd overall by the Detro

Lions in 2012, started at le tackle from 2010-11. Bryan Bulaga

selected 23rd overall by the Green Bay Packers in 2010, starteat le guard in 2007 before moving to le tackle in 2008-09.

From 2005-06, Balmore Ravens All-Pro Marshal Yanda share

me at tackle and guard for the Hawkeyes. Mike Elgin, a sevent

round selecon of New England, was Iowa’s starng center i

2004. Pete McMahon, draed by Oakland in 2005, was Iowa

right guard in 2003. Oakland’s rst round pick in 2004, Robe

Gallery, was Iowa’s le tackle from 2001-03. Eric Steinbach (Cin

cinna) started at guard for Iowa from 2000-02, and Bruce Nelso

(Carolina) was a four-year starter from 1999-02. Both players wer

second round dra picks in 2003.

THE KICK Marshall Koehn kicked a 57-yard eld goal as me expired t

defeat Pi, 27-24, on Sept. 19. The game-winning eld goal wa

the second longest in school history and ed the Kinnick Stadium

record (Arizona’s Lee Pistor in 1977).

Aer Pi ed the game, 24-24, with 0:52 le in the fourt

quarter, Iowa DB Desmond King picked up a squib kick at th

3-yard line and returned it 27 yards to the Iowa 30. QB C.J. Beath
