Iowa Football vs Nebraska Cornhuskers: Four Players to Watch

Four players to watch when the Iowa Hawkeyes play the Nebraska Cornhuskers
On Friday, Iowa football‘s seniors will play their final game at Kinnick Stadium. Iowa hosts the 16th ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers, as they go for their eighth win of the season and try to end the senior’s regular season careers with a win.
Even though Iowa will play in a bowl game, there will be a lot of emotion for the seniors. It’s a group that made the Rose Bowl, went 12-0 last season and compiled a 34-17 record over the past four season.
Both Nebraska and Iowa have been hit hard with injuries over the past couple of weeks. Iowa has not flinched, though, as they’ve won two straight. Nebraska has had a tougher time with a blowout loss to Ohio State and struggling somewhat over their past two games. Nonetheless, Nebraska is still 9-2 on the year and one of five ranked Big Ten teams.
For Iowa, reaching eight wins in the regular season is something that was a dream just a couple of weeks ago. Even with the lofty expectations set for this team this year, an eight win regular season would be nothing to be ashamed of.
That being said, here are four players to watch for when Iowa and Nebraska take the field this week.
