The money man for the Iowa Hawkeyes once again came through in the clutch as he has done so many times before. Drew Stevens saved the day for Iowa in their 10-7 victory over the Northwestern Wildcats on a blustery day at Wrigley Field.
The 52-yard field goal proved to be the game-winning kick to put Northwestern to bed. The kick was the most important play of the day for the Hawkeyes and may prove to be one of the most important plays of the season with the trajectory it could put the Hawkeyes on. The kick was also good enough to earn Drew Stevens honors as the Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week.

Stevens has been a luxury for the Hawkeyes this year. He is proving to be one of the most consistent players on this team and one of the best kickers in America. On the year he is 14-18 on field goal attempts with a long of 53 yards while being a perfect 16-16 on extra points.
Drew Stevens has been great since the day he began at Iowa. In just his second season, Stevens has a career mark of 30-36 on field goals while being automatic on extra points by connecting on all 40 tries.
Iowa is going to be in tight ballgames the rest of the way and each kick coming off of Stevens’ right is going to be amplified. He has answered the bell every time so far with ice in his veins.
