The Iowa Hawkeyes came away with a third straight win as Alex Padilla got his second straight start last week. The Hawkeyes defeated the Illinois Fighting Illini 33-23 for their eighth straight win in the series. Now Iowa turns their attention to the Nebraska Cornhuskers as the Hawkeyes look to extend another lengthy winning streak, this one currently at six games.
Ahead of the matchup, we got some meaningful news out of Lincoln as head coach Scott Frost announced Monday that starting quarterback Adrian Martinez would not be available this week due to a shoulder injury.
