Clock Management

Let’s hope it doesn’t come into play but it definitely has not been a strength over the past couple of years. Let’s hope for another dominant performance by the oline and a fast start! Go Hawks!

The last couple of years???

The last couple of years???

That's what I was thinking. Clock management has been KF's bugaboo since he took the job, or at least since the '05 Cap One Bowl.

Hawks scored with 32 seconds left in the half and 19 seconds in the game.

Clock management was just fine.

This was the best clock management for Iowa in years.

Since 2015, Iowa has kicked 10 game-winning field goals in the final 30 seconds of the fourth quarter (including Caden Buhr's recent 42-yard kick with 15 seconds remaining to beat Iowa State 16-13 on September 12, 2026). [1, 2]
According to official Iowa Hawkeyes Athletics records updated prior to the 2026 season, the Hawkeyes had logged 9 such winning kicks since 2015—giving them the most of any FBS team over that span—and Buhr's recent clutch performance adds the 10th.
