While most of us are likely stuffing our faces today with family in celebration of Thanksgiving, the Iowa football team is rearing up for their regular season finale versus the Nebraska Cornhuskers. This Black Friday Heroes Game rivalry has been a tradition since Nebraska’s entrance into the Big Ten, and since it has begun, Iowa has mostly dominated.
The Iowa football program obviously hopes to do the same thing this year, but they will have their work cut out for them against the tantalizingly talented, yet consistently under performing team from Nebraska. Scott Frost’s team started out with a ton of potential, but faltered early in the season leaving them without a shot at a postseason bowl at this point, but that doesn’t mean they have given up on their season as evidenced by last week’s grind of a game against Michigan State where Nebraska prevailed in the end to win 9-6.
