Drew Tate threw a 56-yard touchdown pass to Warren Holloway on the final play Saturday, a miracle ending that denied Saban a triumphant sendoff to the NFL. Instead No. 11 Iowa stunned No. 12 Louisiana State 30-25 in the Capital One Bowl.
Making the finish all the more improbable: Fifth-year senior Holloway scored the first touchdown of his career.
"It really hasn't hit me yet," he said. "Maybe in a month or so."
How cool is that...spend five years at a solid Big 10 program, and go without a TD until your final game making the game winning 56 yard td catch to win a January 1st Bowl Game. Dream come true.
