Iowa football seemed dead in the water until the Hawkeyes' fortunes began to change in the third quarter vs. Nebraska. Drew Stevens finished the deal.

Nebraska had more than twice as many yards as Iowa on Friday, but the Hawkeyes found a somewhat-unconventional path to winning their regular-season finale.

Nebraska football's defense had a great game plan to stop Iowa star running back Kaleb Johnson and executed it perfectly on 17 of his 19 touches. Johnson's long touchdown catch was the only play of Iowa's that crossed the 50-yard line all night.
