Impossible to predict. Both teams are too inconsistent this year. Could be a rock fight or a route either way. Depends on which team shows up, and which coaching staff has a better plan and preparation. Both teams have momentum coming off big wins but the Hawks have not carried momentum all year. Nebraska FINALLY gets 6 wins and gets one giant monkey off their back. Will they carry the momentum? Game is at Iowa, Senior Day is a big plus. I see it as a crapshoot and (like any rivalry game) won't be surprised at anything. Anyone saying this isn't a rivalry- these teams and their fan bases HATE each other. They have respect, but abosulutely loath losing to the other. May not have started as one but most certainly is now. Hope it's a clean injury free game! Sorry for spelling/grammer- I have had a few beers and lost my reading glasses:) Go Hawks!!!
Great commentary guys, just hope we can get the pass game going to stop them from loading the box. Without some kind of throwing threat it can be difficult to run the ball for any great yardage. Need to get some explosive plays in the pass game to get them worried about that, then you can open up the run with pre snap motion. That is how you you put confusion in the D. So with that said, let's see what they can do with the bad weather conditions. It is bad for us too. I just think it would be neat to be up against USC or UCLA at Kinnick. I mean they have nasty winters in Nebraska too. I don't see the weather being an advantage for either team. Both will be down in the passing game.
The 2015 Illinois game was brutal to attend. Snowstorm the night before had everything covered in snow... most brutal weather related fan experience of my life. That said, I also attended the Pitt game that year with the 57yrd walk off field goal -- weather was perfect that night haha.
Iowa's run game is healthy as ever, does it really matter who plays QB? and this Husker fan does appreciate Cory and his opinions, and Huskers loading the box is just another choice of which poison, if Kaleb breaks through the box, he's gone

Coldest game I was there at Kinnick was in 2013 vs Michigan!
