Nebraska football faces a quick turnaround, playing Iowa on Friday after a tough loss to Penn State. The team has less than forty-eight hours to prepare, with practices and meetings happening at a faster pace. Coach Matt Rhule acknowledged the difficulty of this short week, especially after a physical game. Iowa presents a different kind of challenge, with a mobile quarterback who has accounted for twenty touchdowns this season. Nebraskas defense will need to be sharp, particularly against a running quarterback, which has been an area of struggle for them this season. The team is adjusting their schedule, essentially moving everything up a day. This condensed preparation is crucial as they aim to break a tough streak against Iowa, having lost nine of their last ten matchups. The past two seasons have seen heartbreaking thirteen to ten losses for Nebraska against Iowa, both decided by late field goals. This Fridays game is a chance for Nebraska to not only avenge those losses but also to achieve an eight-and-four record, which would be their best since two thousand sixteen.
