Absolutely no reason to predict anything other than a close loss so I'll say 24-21 iowa suckers

Honestly Rubrum, I know there are bad posters on our board that go after the Huskers, but most of us are not that way. Many reserve their blind hate for the Gopher, Wisconsin or like myself-Illinois. LOL!! I personally would love nothing better then to see the Huskers return to glory and have our end of the year game be for the division. That would be EPIC as a Hawk fan. The West NEEDS the Huskers to be the Huskers to balance out of the freaking (yes, I know it is deserved) love that the East gets.
You must be from eastern iowa. Iowa fans from Des Moines to all points west are miserable people. iowa fans would be better off if they simply realized husker fans will never view the hawks like they view the hawks.

Can I change my prediction now with Adrian ruled out? Not sure now if we'll win by 2 or by 22.
I hope Smothers plays a clean and makes good decision game with no more than one turnover especially a pick for 6 kind of turnover..If this is accomplished I think we have a good chance winning this game..

Yepper.....I am in WAY Eastern Iowa on the Mississippi River. Honestly, I don't know anyone who thinks of the Huskers any differently then say PSU or Northwestern. It just has never been that way. But, I guess on the West side of the state they would have heard more about the Huskers over the years....maybe that is why?

I'm from out west and I love Nebraska fans. I especially love them every year the Saturday after Thanksgiving!

Yeah, I suppose having no real success over Nebraska head to head until 2015 and iowa having no real sustained success nationally ever, coupled with having to constantly hear about Nebraska football and the elite status of the program year after year would take a toll, but it’s been 20 years since the elite days and the program has had 6 losing seasons out of 7, you’d think they’d get over the butthurt already……

For sure. I have heard that in many places in western Iowa, during Nebraska's good years, the focus on radio and TV stations was always on Big Red. They would never hear anything about The BIG or Iowa over there. Of course, I am sure that also had to do with ISU being in the Big 12 with Nebraska and them also being so bad. Over here, we simply did not have many games against Nebraska to really form that kind of "feeling". And, once Hayden got things going for us, it was all BIG, all the time. As far as having bad fans, I think when it come right down to it, all fan bases have "Those" types of fans. The hope is that they are in the minority.

BTW, what does it look like for the Husker as far as returning starters for 2022? Thanks!

Yeah, it did suck until 2015. Last few years have been REALLY fun though.

This games sucks because...well...Iowa blows.

Sorry Hawkeyes I've no axe to grind against you guys but #2 in the nation, gritty win over #5 in the nation nitts then getting punked by a 3-2 Purdue was the most Iowa thing that Iowa could do so Iowa did it.

Looking like world beaters with a huge win one week then going down the following week when nobody is looking. With Iowa you can literally set your watch by it. I just get tired of believing in you guys.

Nebraska defense is not mailing it in but I would not blame them here in this one. With AM gone I just don't see the Huskers generating enough points to keep up with this pathetic Iowa offense.

Pulling for Minnesota Saturday to knock off the Badgers so Michigan can face Iowa in the big10 championship because...well...Iowa blows.

Iowa 17
Nebraska 13

Michigan 27
Ohio State 23

Go Blue!

It's always hilarious when husker fans and citizens of Nebraska consider themselves so much more cultured and urban compared to Iowa and its fan base. Outside of Omaha and Lincoln the state of Nebraska is full of small town rednecks with Cheeto fingers slamming away on their keyboard from their parents basement.
Yeah - my parents are 117 years old, still more cultured than you . . .

Special teams are an unmitigated disaster, the offense is terrible, and the defense is completely worn down and depleted.

Nebraska: 14
Hogeyes: 35

The current overs line as at 41. This is going to be a snoozefest. But at least I know the Huskers will still manage to kick me in the testicles several times, figuratively speaking. Or maybe literally. This team always surprises me.

NU: 16

Just to reconfirm we’re all on the same page, iowa fans are trash. iowa fans are college footballs turds that just won’t flush. Sorry to state the obvious and goodnight….

On the other hand, unless our defense scores a couple touchdowns and our kick return scores a TD, we aren't going to see 35.

Iowa fan here, I come in peace. I think you will win tomorrow as one of my close contacts to the team has informed me that a bad flu bug is spreading throughout the locker room.

The Flu going around the country seems to have hit Iowa. According to people in Iowa City they are going to be hurting tomorrow with a lot of players not practicing or still sick this week.
I know two weeks ago the week of the ND/UVA almost all the ND roster missed time during the week & 13 players were ruled out the morning of the game. ND was fine against UVA, but I don’t think Iowa has that large of a gap over Nebraska & if they are flu ridden it will make a difference.

When you pull all the good stats he looks unbeatable, it's the awe ***** he provides that ruins the good. if I told you he was awesome, you'd pull the stats showing he screws up at critical moments. It's a double edge sword that can be played either way.
He's a damn good QB. Averages 300 ypg. The link was in the post, I'm sure you can find some negative stats as well. He's tough and effective and scares defenses. With the right coaching, (not verducci) and a solid pass pro line, he'd be fine. I don't want the Hawks to face him again!
