Iowa rallies from 14 points down to beat Michigan

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Jake Rudock threw for 239 yards and a pair of touchdown passes and Iowa rallied from 14 down to beat Michigan 24-21 Saturday. A fumble recovery by Anthony Hitchens with 2:12 left sealed it for the Hawkeyes (7-4, 4-3 Big Ten), who also clinched a winning season after going 4-8 in 2012. Michigan used a pair of Rudock interceptions to race out to a 21-7 halftime lead. But the Hawkeyes held the Wolverines (7-4, 3-4) to just 45 yards in the second half and jumped ahead on a 34-yard field goal by Mike Meyer with 6:02 left. Devin Gardner drove Michigan to Iowa's 31 before he was stripped by Hitchens. He finished with 98 yards passing and two TDs. Rudock also threw three interceptions, but he was bailed out by a spectacular effort from Iowa's defense. Mark Weisman added 88 yards rushing and a touchdown for Iowa, which has won three straight at home over Michigan.
