What to know about the Nebraska vs Iowa Big Ten college football game on NBC and Peacock
Friday’s ‘Huskers-Hawkeyes game marks the 55th in the two teams’ history. This year, Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz is protecting a 7-4 overall record (5-3 in conference) to close out his 26th regular season with the Hawkeyes. A quartet of losses this season against Iowa State, Ohio State, Michigan State, and UCLA have probably shut the door on Iowa’s chance at a berth in the 12-team college football playoff. But with in-conference wins over bowl-eligible Minnesota and Washington, the Hawkeyes still have their sights set on a bowl game that could fall somewhere enviably close to New Year’s Day.

Nebraska, meanwhile, has made headway this year under second-season head coach Matt Rhule. After finishing his first campaign last season with a 5-7 record, Rhule has the Cornhuskers in bowl game contention this year, thanks to a 6-5 record (3-5 in conference) — highlighted by a huge Week 2 win over Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes. For Nebraska, the bottom line is that they’re already bowl eligible, even before facing off against the slightly-favored Hawkeyes this weekend. But a win against Iowa could put a huge punctuation mark on the Cornhuskers’ 2024 season, while cementing the narrative that one of college football’s most revered traditional powers might just be making progress down a long-term path toward resurgence.
