Despite holding a 10-0 halftime lead and limiting Iowa to just 20 total offensive yards in the first half, Nebraska was shut out in the second half as Iowa rallied for the victory.

Iowa managed only five first downs compared to Nebraska’s 20 and totaled just 164 yards of offense against Nebraska’s 334.

Despite the disparities, Nebraska allowed Iowa to claw back and secure the win, improving to 8-4 while the Cornhuskers dropped to 6-6 in their season finale.

Raiola completed 22-of-32 passes for 190 yards. Running back Dante Dowdell added to the total with 13 carries for 50 yards and one touchdown.

Iowa quarterback Jackson Stratton completed 8-of-15 passes for 115 yards and one touchdown, while kicker Drew Stevens contributed seven points.

Nebraska ended their season with losses in five of their last six games, finishing 13th in the Big Ten Conference.

Fans took to social media to criticize Raiola and Rhule for squandering their lead against the Hawkeyes, noting that the quarterback failed to deliver a “Mahomes-like” performance despite his efforts.
