Hawkeyes and Huskers battling in Lincoln

Next stop, the Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis, where they’ll play for their first conference title since 2004. Iowa played in the Rose after the 1985 season. The win earned the Hawkeyes the Big Ten West title and a spot in the Big Ten Championship Game on December 5.

While Nebraska is left to deal with that reality, Iowa is dreaming big. The Huskers have played Oklahoma, Colorado or Iowa on the day after Thanksgiving every year since 1990 and are 19-6 in those games. Take quarterback Tommy Armstrong, whose playmaking helped rescue the Huskers previous year.

Remember, they said: Football is an 11-man game. “They came out in a different personnel group, and we didn’t cover down correctly on it. That’s on me, period”.

Shaw remarked just how hard going without a loss is in this sport. Nebraska should’ve beaten BYU and IL.

Iowa has been a polarizing team as it climbed to No. 4 in the playoff rankings. The Hawkeyes are ranked fourth in the current CFP poll, and off to their best start in school history.

The four Hawkeyes to come away with interceptions: Hesse, Greg Mabin, Josey Jewell and Cole Fisher.

“It’s tough to recover from something like that”, Gangwish said.

“The players, I mean the players are a good group of dudes”. The rest of the guys are saying, ‘hey, if he’s out there, I’m going to be out there.’ His leadership and attitude has permeated throughout the football team. His program – sturdy, functional, a bit of a gas-guzzler stylistically – was operating to diminishing returns until this season, when quarterback C.J. Beathard, three running backs, an unheralded offensive line and a lunch-pail defense secured close wins over Pittsburgh and Wisconsin and have since gone on a tear. UI will face Michigan State if the Spartans beat Penn State, or the victor of the Ohio State-Michigan game should MSU falter.

SEATTLE Myles Gaskin ran for 138 yards and two touchdowns, Sidney Jones, Darren Gardenhire and Azeem Victor returned turnovers for touchdowns in the second half and Washington became bowl eligible with a victory over Washington State.

According to oddsmakers at MyBookie.ag, Iowa is favored on the road in this game, but not by much.

Nebraska still has a shot at a bowl game even if they lose.

“We’re not trying to be pretty, we’re trying to be productive”, coach Kirk Ferentz said.

“I think we’re a lot better”, Critter, diehard Hawkeye fan, said. Right now he’s probably using that as his mantra. “… You talk about those kinds of things, but for players to really understand it and act it out, that’s impressive, and they’ve done that”.

Running Back Jordan Canzeri rushed for 140 yards and 2 touchdowns as the Iowa Hawkeyes defeated the Nebraska Cornhuskers 28-20 in a week 13 Big Ten matchup at Memorial Stadium (Lincoln, NE).

“They don’t mess up, so there’s not a lot of room for error”, Williams said. “I think that everybody is obviously aware of the ramifications for them”, said Riley. They need this game.

Nebraska is well rested, coming off a bye week. That game has playoff implications.

It’s hard to imagine, Long said, that it’s been 30 years since he wrapped up his star-studded collegiate career.
