Jermari Harris' pick-6 yesterday marked the 17th consecutive season that Iowa has had a pick-6; which is the second longest streak in the nation.
So here's ~5 minutes of picks-6. One a year, beginning in 2008.
A few notes:
-The streak started with Amari Spievey's pick-6 at the Metrodome in 2008.
-The longest interception return in Iowa history came from Tanner Miller vs. Northwestern in 2011.
-There have been 55 picks-6 in Iowa history. 41 have come under Kirk Ferentz. And only 3 happened prior to Hayden Fry.
-38 have come at Kinnick Stadium, and 4 have come in Bowl games.
-The closest we came to seeing the streak end was in 2019. The only pick-6 of the year came with under 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter of the Holiday Bowl. God bless Nick Niemann!
-*unseen: the first pick-6 in Iowa history was Bobby Stearns vs. Montana in 1954.
Watch:
