This was probably already discussed, but the Iowa kick return by King after Pitt tied the game at 24 was an extremely important play.
The ball was rolling around at about the 5 yard line when King finally picked it up. It looked like the Pitt kick coverage was there to bring him down deep in Iowa territory. But he somehow managed to evade the tacklers and get the ball all the way out to the 30. 25 yards that Iowa didn't need to pick up on the way to the FG drive.
Of course, the kid would've probably just kicked an 82 yard FG insted of 57 if they hadn't gotten those 25 additional yds. on the kick return.
