1987 Holiday Bowl - #18 Iowa vs. Wyoming Highlights

Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego home of the pipe the Chargers in Super Bowl 22 also home of the Sea World holiday ball well we've seen some fantastic finishes let's look back and take a look receivers of their defenders are there one second first down wallet he's got the scar the game and again in 1987 the black and gold of Iowa is back 18 prides hot guys have racked up at nine and three records largely due to the play of quarterback Chuck Hartley man with a comeback style comes I was opponent the Wyoming Cowboys were first-year coach Paul Roche rolled up ten wins on a wack championship cowboy fortunes riding on the quick-draw record-setting quarterback Craig Burnett a gunslinger who likes to fire from long range his ability to do that determines whether or not the Cowboys can shoot down the Hawkeye a 43-yard try for Greg Walker he's four for ten from this distance on its way it is good so the Cowboys they use three and a half on the clock and they put three big points up on the board against the favorite Hawkeye so the emotion of the Wyoming Cowboys as they strike first another look is worker kicks it through from 43 Cowboys lead by a field goal this will be a 37-yard try for a worker who's already connected the senior out of lake michigan from 43-yard down on its way and it is going from 43 and 37 yards the Cowboys have a six nothing lead over the Iowa Hawkeyes and of coach first the head coach at Iowa Hayden Fry took over a program that it well they'd only been to two bowls in 90 years if you see on that graphic but since state and pride took over back in 79 seven straight Bowl bids in the last nine years he is the winningest coach with 70 victories at Iowa University you know they had lost 19 straight seasons under four different coaches he came in Kevin and discipline was really the rule he began by having the fellows be required to go to class tuck the shirt in some of the rules might have seemed silly at the time but he said any discipline in the football program starts in the classroom and as a young man and you have to bet the individual pride before he could be a football player that's the work work ethic Jim it carries over to 15 first and 10 Cowboys they lead 6 nothing play-action fake raises the line that goes for six touchdown Wyoming James loving I'll be curious to see this on the replay to see if there wasn't a loot pushing off well hey I agree with you Jim Hanks there was something going on over there with loving and Hanks and there was no flag at all wall was thrown when Burnett threw that ball loving was covered now is either a bad thrower he had absolute confidence that he could make that catch in traffic loving second touchdown catch of the year a school-record 54 catches and six touchdowns and the Cowboys will go for a two-point conversion this a chance to put them up to the right incomplete well nothing Wyoming looking for loving who had the touchdown catch from the 20-yard line good penetration John Ridley sack brunette Tom Kilpatrick again he's the backup tight-end he's also the punter Marciano is back deep average is about three and a half four yards on punt return I'd like to get it and set up the office here in the theater block it this will be six je pense started his career as a quarterback he knew what to do with it when he found number 48 Tyrone berry the senior out of Mount Vernon New York six to 228 I believe it was berry Kevin that came crashing through to blockin we get the extra point and the jubilation over on the Hawkeye sideline it's a five-point Wyoming it Bennett is that punt by Kilpatrick was blocked and Charlene Hawkes is found one take a look at this anf it stands for American needs farmers about three years ago coach Frey and his team decided they want to do something to alert Americans to the plight of farmers across the country the Midwest in particular so they came up with this and and coach Frey said it was their way of saying that we think you guys are great and we want to help but certainly has attracted a lot of attention and so is Gerald Abraham Cowboys get six more the Wyoming fans ecstatic in the first half here at the SeaWorld Holiday Bowl the 13th touchdown for the education major and the Cowboys lead 19 heck of a job you can talk about the quarterback in the offensive lot but I think the defense they're at why only would the famous for four years is doing a tremendous job for the touchdown his first interception on the air and it puts six and it puts Iowa right back into the football game from the 32 yard line he stepped in front of the Aaron straight Burnett past and at six for Iowa tire came wait for Burnett to make a mistake right is a great cover guy but this is his oh look at him sitting back there he finally overthrows one which you don't want to do in a deep zone and right knows what to do with it when he gets it and now the defense of the special teams have put thirteen points on the board for Iowan they've been shut out offensive extra extra point try coming up Rob Outland out of the hold of chuck heart Lou they're perfect 32 yards and the defense and the specialty teams watch watch Anthony right here's heart lib never cease right hanging back hanging back plans on loving it's over his head there's right with his first interception of the year and the junior out of Dallas Texas takes it in for the touchdown it's now a five-point Wyoming lead but they trailed by five shoulda coulda woulda nothing doing that time Abraham in the grasp of JJ Park second and six from the 32 those four element it's tied at the 22 the a team in the 17 Iowa's strength physical advantage against Wyoming and a bunch of tired Blitzers and stutters back there Cowboys gonna witness they're gonna have to do it right now nine twenty and Counting left to go with the zebra fires within 15 he's got more put the tight end close to the goal line goes David Hudson third and less than the length of the football coming up for an Iowa touchdown they've been behind the entire game David Hudson one point all that gives you a two point lead so I think a Triassic three point one point there's absolutely no good boy a touchdown again it's a quick snap Wyoming not ready see how they're trying to bury down there and then it's just nobody there look like one owe me got off the ball just two quick cuts and waited for the ball and go by and stepped into the end zone I remember Wyoming whelming is one of these teams it comes back and comes back here comes the two-point try partly but quarterback early wide bottom of your screen play-action fake partly we'll throw incomplete at the two and almost picked off by Scott hand sir so some grimaces on the face of Hayden Fry we'll take time out it's a one-point lead they may not get another playoff well now they've got that I don't understand that now they start the clock yeah why all we need it to be at the line of scrimmage and they were in a huddle it's the last play of the game intercepted at the 48-yard Hank's who blocked the last field goal try attempted by Wyoming the thrifty car rental players of the game for Iowa Anthony right he had the 32 yard interception that got the hawk eyes back in it and Craig Burnett who sent a new holiday passing bowl record with 53 attempts tonight the drifty car rental players of the game the Holiday Bowl with a history of fantastic finishes we've had another one here tonight five of the first ten holiday Bowls decided by one point the Hawkeye's by one against the Cowboys congratulations to Hayden Fry in Iowa and also to Paul Roche and Wyoming for Kevin Kiley I'm Jim Kelly hockey is next good night everybody
