Iowa City, Iowa – For the first time since 2011 the home team won in the Nebraska-Iowa series, as the Hawkeyes jumped out to a 6-0 lead and never looked back on their way a 40-10 win on Black Friday to win the HyVee Heroes Game for the second straight year. The road team had won the past four meetings between the two teams following Nebraska’s 20-7 win in Memorial Stadium in 2011.
The Huskers ended the regular season with a 9-3 record, a four-game improvement over last season’s 5-7 regular-season mark.
Iowa was able to dominate the ground game, as it rushed for 264 yards, while holding the Huskers to 90 yards rushing.
