N.C. State Rally Upsets 16th-Rated Iowa, 24-14 : College football: First collegiate field goal by Videtich breaks tie with 6:50 left.

Steve Videtich kicked a tiebreaking 46-yard field goal with 6:50 remaining and Terry Jordan added a clinching five-yard touchdown pass as North Carolina State beat No. 16 Iowa, 24-14, Saturday night in the Kickoff Classic.

Videtich, a sophomore, gave N.C. State a 17-14 lead by connecting on his first collegiate field goal attempt. The Wolfpack regained possession on an interception by Mike Reid and drove 34 yards for the clinching score--a five-yard pass from Jordan to Eddie Goines with 1:53 remaining.

Jordan, who missed seven games last season because of a broken left arm, completed 15 of 24 passes for 160 yards. The senior also rushed 13 times for 71 yards.

It was the second Kickoff Classic defeat for Iowa, which lost the 1987 game to Tennessee, 23-22. N.C. State was playing in its first Kickoff Classic.

After a wide-open first half that ended in a 14-14 tie, the game turned into a defensive struggle for most of the second half.

N.C. State scored in the opening half on a two-yard run by Gary Downs and a 49-yard run by Anthony Barbour--the longest run in the 10-year history of the Kickoff Classic.

Both of Iowa’s touchdowns came on second-quarter passes from Jim Hartlieb to Danan Hughes, who set a school record for touchdown receptions with 17. Hughes had scoring catches of 23 and nine yards.

Hartlieb, whose brother, Chuck, quarterbacked Iowa in the 1987 Kickoff Classic, completed 22 of 34 passes for 212 yards with two interceptions.

N.C. State scored on its first possession of the game when Downs capped an eight-play, 81-yard drive with his touchdown run. The key play in the drive was a 33-yard run by Jordan that brought the ball to the Iowa 17.

Iowa tied it midway through the second quarter on the 23-yarder from Hartlieb to Hughes, who caught a crossing pass on the 11 and outraced several defenders to the end zone.

N.C. State took a 14-7 lead on the next series when Barbour took a pitch from Jordan, split two tacklers and raced down the right sideline for a touchdown.

Hughes, who had seven catches for 87 yards, ran a slant pattern and made a diving catch in the end zone with 4:47 left in the half.

Iowa’s Todd Romano missed a 36-yard field goal attempt 11 seconds into the fourth quarter.
