IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Michigan failed its first major road test of the season.It might not matter for the Wolverines and their playoff hopes -- if they win out.Freshman Keith Duncan kicked a 33-yard field goal as time expired and Iowa stunned third-ranked Michigan 14-13 on Saturday night, damaging the Wolverines playoff hopes.We just have to look in the mirror and look at the film and become better because of this, Michigan tight end Jake Butt said. Theres really no excuse, theres absolutely no excuse.But Michigan is still very much alive, in part because Clemson and Washington lost earlier in the day -- at home, no less.Still, its the middle of November and the Wolverines have yet to beat a team with more than one league win on the road.Wilton Speight threw for 103 yards with a pick for the Wolverines, who gained just 201 yards of offense.We didnt make enough plays to extend drives, first downs. We missed on some deep throws, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said. Every little thing doesnt always go your way, and to win, youve got to make it that way.Akrum Wadley had 115 yards rushing to help the Hawkeyes (6-4, 4-3 Big Ten) beat a top-five team for the first time in six years.Michigan (9-1, 6-1, No. 2 AP) appeared to have the game wrapped up when Channing Stribling intercepted C.J. Beathards pass with 1:54 left. But the Hawkeyes stuffed the Wolverines, and a facemask penalty put Iowa at Michigans 36 with 1:23 to go.Duncan then drilled the ball through the uprights from nearly the exact same spot where Daniel Murray hit the winner eight years ago to knock Penn State out of the national title picture.It was an incredible feeling, said Duncan, who was immediately mobbed by teammates and fans. Its definitely the biggest kick Ive had.THE TAKEAWAYMichigan: The Wolverines offense struggled mightily on a cold and windy night in Iowa City -- where they had lost in each of their last three trips. Michigans top-ranked defense made up for it for much of the night, but a bad final series by its offense and a crushing penalty put Iowa in position to pull off the massive upset.Iowa: After three straight homes losses and a 41-14 loss at Penn State last week, the Hawkeyes redeemed themselves. The defense looked like the one that was expected to help the Hawkeyes compete for a second straight Big Ten title, and the offense did just enough to give the program a win it sorely needed after weeks of listless play.POLL IMPLICATIONS: Its hard to see Michigan falling further than fourth in the Top 25 . One-loss Louisville and Ohio State could jump past the Wolverines, but all that matters is being in the top four when the playoff committee makes its selections.HISTORY REPEATS ITSELFDuncans big kick was not only reminiscent to 2008, but 1985 -- and Michigan was involved in that one. In what is remembered as perhaps the biggest game in the history of Kinnick Stadium, top-ranked Iowa beat No. 2 Michigan 12-10 on a field goal at the final whistle. The Hawkeyes were later knocked off by Ohio State -- and if the same happens to Michigan on Nov. 26, it can likely forget about the playoffs.THE NUMBERSMichigan ran for only 98 yards on 35 carries. ...Wadley had his best game for the Hawkeyes, even if hes put up bigger numbers in previous efforts. Wadley also caught a 3-yard TD pass on a fourth-down play to bring the Hawkeyes within 10-8. ...Kenny Allen kicked a career-long 51-yard field goal with 9:35 left. ...Iowas home season has certainly been interesting. Before beating Michigan, it lost to North Dakota State of the FCS -- also on a kick at the final whistle.HE SAID ITId rather throw for 60 yards and get a win than throw for 400 and get a loss, Beathard said. He was just 8 of 19 passing for 66 yards.UP NEXTMichigan closes out its home schedule against Indiana, its final tuneup for what should be yet another massive showdown with rival Ohio State.Iowa travels to face Illinois in its last road game of 2016.

Graeme Souness says Chelsea produced a near perfect away performance in their win over Southampton There is a hunger about this Chelsea team, said Redknapp. The manager has brought that in and the players are buying into it.Every single player on that pitch is working hard and theres a desire about them again. Conte has got them so well drilled. Everybody knows their job when they have the ball and it suits them defensively as well.Luiz looks - Im scared to say it - like a serious defender. Youve got him buying into it as well, and that was a problem for Chelsea for many years. But when hes like that, he looks the real deal. Southampton 0-2 Chelsea highlights Questions were asked as to where Luiz would fit in following his Deadline Day move from Paris Saint-Germain, with even Conte admitting that he was a surprise purchase.However, Luiz has started the last eight games for Chelsea in all competitions, benefiting from John Terrys ankle injury which he sustained against Swansea in early September.During the match against Southampton, Sky Sports Gary Neville said Conte is finally getting the best out of Luiz by playing him in a back three. Antonio Conte believes Chelseas hard work is paying off after they secured another victory and clean sheet in their Premier League win over Southampton Neville added that the change in Chelseas overall mentality is noticeable, highlighting Luizs diversion from playing it out from the back.ddddddddddddThis Chelsea team have not made a mistake today, theyve not put a foot wrong, said Neville. The concentration and focus is there but the clean sheet mentality is the big thing for me, and its there right through the team these past few weeks. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ￡6.99. No contract. Even Luiz is kicking it into the stand when two years ago he might have done a Cruyff turn and tried to beat the attacker.Playing three centre-backs is very much the Italian way, but Conte originally appeared reluctant to implement the tactics he used in Italy when arriving in England this summer. Luiz has started every match since John Terry was injured in early September However, Chelsea have settled into the new formation comfortably and are now reaping the rewards, sitting one point behind league leaders Manchester City - who are ahead of Liverpool and Arsenal on goal difference.Chelsea have defeated both Manchester United and Southampton recently despite having less possession, but this new style may not be appreciated by everyone, according to Graeme Souness.They play a brand of football which wont be everyones cup of tea, Souness said after the Southampton match. But that was a near-perfect performance away from home. Chelsea boss Antonio Conte embraces Diego Costa after the win against Southampton No one comes to Southampton and has an easy ride, but Chelsea nullified them and limited them to just one shot on target. It was a very impressive performance.Theyre happy with that back three - a back five when they dont have the ball - to sit there and say come on, show us what youve got, and theyre dealing with whatever is being thrown at them.Its counter-attacking football and thats very Italian, and when I played in Italy, we would be shocked after losing games 1-0 despite having most of the ball. Thats the feeling teams will have when playing this side. Also See: Soton 0-2 Chelsea As it happened Chelsea video Chelsea fixtures ' ' '
