I am thinking the game will be more like Iowa 17 - Nebraska 14.
If the Nebraska players are no longer along for the ride, and if the assistant coaching staff spends part of the week updating their résumés, it could be worse for the Cornhuskers. It appeared Nebraska had not given up last week against Wisconsin until the 4th quarter (as usual). If Nebraska were not hiring a new Head Coach, the Nebraska defense would be too good to give up 31 to the Hawkeyes’ offense. The only way it could become a 31-6 rout is because this is not an ordinary year for Nebraska football, and its coaching situation.

Only at Iowa is a blocking fullback two of its top offensive players.
This has me curious now.  I have watched all the Iowa games this year and I don't remember them playing the fullback as much as Iowa typically has in the past.  Of course my memory is not 100% reliable.  But I wonder if there is a way to look up the percentage of plays where Iowa's offense is playing a fullback.

EDIT: 
I tried to look this up.  I saw an article that before the Wisconsin game Pottebaum had played 185 snaps for Iowa.  That was after 9 games.  Iowa's offense I believe averages 53 snaps a game, so they would have around 477 snaps total after 9 games.

So does that mean that Pottebaum has only played on less than 40% of Iowa's offensive plays?

I've watched a handful of the Hawk games

the Fullback isn't on the field much, when he is, many times he's noticed by the announcer

maybe he should be playing more?

couldn't hurt

Except in Pottebaum's case,  he actually did get hurt.

Nebraska vs. Iowa Prediction: Hawkeyes Look to Clinch Big Ten West With Another Win Over the Cornhuskers

Iowa can make it back-to-back Big Ten Championship Game appearances with an eighth straight win in the battle for the Heroes Trophy.

Logic and reason say this ends up being an easy two-score win for the Ferentz family. But college football is weird sometimes. Maybe the Thanksgiving tryptophan hits differently or Iowa understandably chalks this up as a cakewalk. Either way, embrace the chaos.

Prediction: Nebraska 19, Iowa 16

the annual SCHEELS “Heroes Game” recognizes local heroes who inspire others and positively impact the community.

This year, the Iowa Hawkeyes are celebrating two heroes from right here in Siouxland, charity auctioneers Randy Stabe of Hinton, Iowa and Clinton Vos of Lawton, Iowa.

The two are longtime Hawkeye fans who volunteer their auctioneer services to nearly 30 nonprofits, one big one being the Boys and Girls Club. They have raised millions of dollars nonprofit organizations for more than 25 years.

Hope they're right.Of course I don't know how the west would look after that.It certainly wouldn't help the winner of the East with style points

Playing the Hawkeyes or any team from the west isn't going to help the East, but the winner of "the game" doesn't need help

just need the win

gonna be #2 with a win

not gonna jump the Dawgs no matter what

nope

now if they were running the triple option, at least they could cripple a few defensive players with cut blocks
