Nebraska and Iowa will once again meet on Black Friday starting in 2022. The Big Ten announced the 2022-25 conference football schedules Wednesday afternoon, which highlighted the return of the Black Friday matchup between the Huskers and Hawkeyes.
Nebraska will face Minnesota to end the regular season in 2020 and 2021, something athletic director Bill Moos wanted to correct quickly. The Huskers and Hawkeyes have met on Black Friday every year since Nebraska joined the Big Ten in 2011. The two programs will still meet to end the regular season in 2018 and 2019 before the two year hiatus.
