This game gained widespread attention when Iowa safety Ron Hawley knocked over the wooden goalposts while defending a play during the second quarter. The metal goalposts had been replaced with wooden ones before the game as Michigan State officials feared they would be torn down by students at the game's end. Play was delayed for several minutes and remained broken when Michigan State was about to attempt a field goal, resulting in the grounds crew holding the posts manually during the kick.[7]
