Vanderbilt punter's illegal kick sets up Iowa for an easy touchdown in
ReliaQuest Bowl
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) --- Iowa scored a touchdown late in first half of the
ReliaQuest Bowl on Wednesday as the result of a quirky play involving an
illegal kick by the Vanderbilt punter.
On fourth down at the Vandy 15, punter Nick Haberer took the snap and began
moving toward the line of scrimmage as if to wait for the coverage team to get
downfield. He stepped over the 15 before sending a punt 53 yards out of bounds
at the Iowa 32.
Haberer was flagged for an illegal kick, and the 5-yard penalty from the spot
of the foul gave the Hawkeyes possession at the Vandy 10. Reece Vander Zee
pulled down a touchdown pass from Mark Gronowski on the next play for a 14-3
lead.
