Ladies and gentlemen, everything is ready at Memorial Stadium for kick-off. In a minute the kickoff will be given and we hope it will be a great game.

Nebraska ranks 39th in the nation in points allowed at 22.2 per game and the Cornhuskers are allowing an average of 143.9 yards rushing and 228.8 yards passing for a total of 366.7 yards per game.

Nebraska's top tackler is linebacker Nick Henrich with 91 and the leader in QB sacks is linebacker Garrett Nelson with 5. While safety Deontai Williams has four interceptions on the season.

Iowa is ninth in the nation in points allowed at 16.9 per game. Hawkeyes' defense allows an average of 103.6 yards rushing and 211.1 yards per pass for a total of 314.7 yards per game.

Iowa's top tackler is linebacker Jack Campbell with 105 and the leader in QB sacks is defensive end Joe Evans with 6. Cornerback Dane Belton has five interceptions, the best on the team in that field.

In this afternoon's game there will be a very special recognition to Nebraska Cornhuskers players:

The players are already on the field of play at the Memorial Stadium, warming up before the start of the game.

Iowa's offense is scoring an average of just 25.5 points per game, while averaging 115.3 yards on the ground and 177.9 yards in the air.

Notable players are Tyler Goodson, who has 945 yards rushing with six touchdowns and an average of 4.4 yards per carry, as well as Sam LaPorta with 425 receiving yards and two touchdowns with an average of 11.5 yards per reception.

Nebraska averages 28.5 points per game while averaging 185.9 rushing yards and 272.6 passing yards.

Rahmir Johnson, who is also questionable, has rushed for 495 yards and four touchdowns. Samori Toure has 831 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns.

Iowa is one of three teams still alive for the Big Ten Conference Western Division title heading into the final game of the regular season, and the Hawkeyes can do their part to stay in that race when they face Nebraska this week. late.

Ferentz is the longest-serving coach at FBS and is 7-5 against Nebraska, but since the Cornhuskers joined the Big Ten in 2011 he is 7-3.

Another loss for Nebraska would give him nine losses in a season for the first time since 1957. Frost is already the first Huskers coach to miss a bowl game in four consecutive seasons since William Jennings did not make one in his five seasons since. 1957-61, but Frost is already assured that he will return in 2022 after agreeing to a new restructured contract.
