17 Iowa at Nebraska

Which quarterback steps up today? Iowa needs to play clean football on offense. Defense needs to force some turnovers as they did against Iowa State & Minnesota. Strong special teams hopefully favor and boost Iowa over the Huskers in Lincoln.

The 50th meeting of Iowa vs. Nebraska in College Football. Ninth meeting as Big Ten brothers, sixth in the Big Ten West.

The trenches should be the first sign of how this one will go?

The Hawkeyes play fourth straight Big Ten West rival.
  1. QB Nate Stanley needs to step up, after an emotional win over Illinois on Senior Day.
  2. Explosive plays: running, passing & special teams
  3. Nebraska leads B1G in 40+ gains .... DC Phil Parker is B1G on preventing them
  4. Turnovers, penalties and miscues, can't afford getting behind in the markets or lose the field position game!
  5. How many fires will the defense have to sort out, like Michigan, Penn State and Wisconsin?
  6. Nebraska got out to B1G leads at Colorado, Indiana and Purdue, only to fall behind and lose
  7. Iowa has fueled two straight wins on first possession touchdowns and leads at half; reverse of three games lost.
  8. Tackling
  9. Coaching adjustments
  10. Fans
Okay, long list, but plenty to reflect on, as Iowa either breakouts in Lincoln, or faces a dog fight, again?
