Tommi Hill interception

Late pick, field goal sink Huskers

Chubba Purdy threw an interception in the final half-minute, and Iowa converted it into a walk-off field goal and a 13-10 win. Nebraska stays home for the holidays at 5-7 after dropping its fourth consecutive try for a sixth win.

Nebraska had the ball near midfield with half a minute left after Tommi Hill intercepted an Iowa pass. But Purdy gave it right back just two plays later, and the Hawkeyes cashed in for their 10th win of the season, helped by a 22-yard run that set up the 38-yard game-winning kick.

Nebraska might have held a 13-10 lead in the late going if not for Tristan Alvano’s miss on a 44-yard field goal try with a little over five minutes left. Alvano did make a 44-yarder early in the second half to tie the game at 10-10.

Iowa controlled most of the first half, piling up 200 yards of total offense to Nebraska’s 118. The Hawkeyes took a 7-0 lead early in the second quarter after a 51-yard drive, then quickly made it 10-0 after a Purdy fumble gave them a short field at the NU 44.

Nebraska’s offense then came up with a huge play. More than half of the Huskers’ first-half yards came when Purdy hooked up with true freshman Jaylen Lloyd for a 66-yard touchdown pass on a third-and-11 play. The Hawkeyes drove to the Nebraska 6 late in the second quarter, but the Huskers’ second field-goal block of the game kept the score at 10-7 heading into intermission.

Commentary

Stryker

Those who consider the football program cursed no longer seem as wildly irrational as they once did.

Tad Stryker

Christopherson

It’s Year 1 of a new era, but this November stings. The bowl practices would’ve been large, make no mistake about it.

Matt Rhule wasn’t kidding when he said there would be pain. But how much can a fan base take?

What better way to summarize the 2023 Huskers, huh? They played admirably … until the end.

Just

Nebraska’s season shouldn’t have ended on Friday. But it did. And we all know the defense isn’t the reason why.

Maier

The offense’s inability to march down the field reared its ugly head once again. For the third time this season, holding an opponent to 13 points wasn’t enough.
