Another week, and another 13-10 loss to an opponent on the last play of the game. That’s incredible unto itself, but this time it’s made more painful because it’s Iowa, and because Nebraska finishes at 5-7 and will most likely miss a bowl game for the 32,343rd year in a row.
It was a hard-fought team for both teams. Nebraska appeared to be completely out of it until Chubbay Purdy hit Jaylen Lloyd for a 66-yard touchdown pass. It was the longest play given up by the Iowa defense this season.
Both teams played conservative, with Matt Rhule taking a play out of Kirk Ferentz’ play book, trying to see if Iowa would make a mistake to give Nebraska the game.
