Moving the ball against an Iowa defense isn’t easy in the best of times. Nebraska will have to do it on Friday with a first-time starter at quarterback, a banged up running back room and an offensive line that, well, hasn’t been good enough often enough in 2021.
The matchup gets a bit better for the Huskers when you flip it around. The Blackshirts have been excellent at limiting big plays––to an almost Iowa-like degree––but this Hawkeye offense doesn’t need a whole lot to keep Iowa in games.
How does it all come together for Nebraska, like a perfectly executed and considered Thanksgiving plate? We talk about that and more in this week’s I-80 Preview, Black Friday edition.
The I-80 Preview will have new episodes each week during football season. You can listen to the new episode below or, better yet, subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Spotify or your preferred pod purveyor.
