One year ago Drew Stevens was essentially benched in the second half of the Hawkeyes win at Nebraska. He could only stand by and watch Marshall Meeder drill a game winning field goal in a 13-10 victory for Iowa.

Friday night it was Stevens chance for redemption and to show just how far he has come as a kicker and a person in the last year. Stevens hammered a game winning 53 yard field goal on a chilly night in Iowa City for the 13-10 victory.

Following the win, Stevens discussed his field goal and the process to get there in the last year.
