Overview
- Iowa moved to 8-4 overall and 6-3 in the Big Ten with the 40-16 road win at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln in the nationally televised CBS game.
- Quarterback Mark Gronowski totaled 230 yards with two rushing touchdowns and a scoring pass, Kamari Moulton ran for two TDs, and DJ Vonnahme caught a touchdown.
- The result extends Iowa’s run to seven straight victories in Lincoln and underscores the Hawkeyes’ recent dominance in the series.
- Nebraska again started backup T. J. Lateef with Dylan Raiola sidelined by a broken fibula, but the Huskers’ offense was overmatched against Iowa’s defense and rushing attack.
- This matchup was set as the final Heroes Game on Black Friday for the foreseeable future, and Iowa—listed by sportsbooks around a six-point favorite—won by a much larger margin.
