Prediction
Nebraska 23
Iowa 17
Iowa was 4-8 last year and they have improved to 7-4 so far in 2013. Three of Iowa's losses combined to lose just three games this season.
Jake Rudock is the Iowa quarterback. Rudock has a 60% completion rate and has 2,155 yards in passing and 16 touchdowns. He also has 12 interceptions and will be a factor Friday!
Rudock can also run the ball he has 210 yards rushing and five touchdowns.
Iowa has a great running back bunch. Mark Weisman has 865 yards and five touchdowns, Damon Bullock has 467 yards and one touchdown, and Jordan Canzeri has 273 yards rushing.
Kevonie Martin-Manley leads the Iowa receivers with 37 catches for 324 yards and three TDs. Their hottest receiver right now is Tevaun Smith who has 24 catches for 310 yards. They do throw well to the tight ends and this could be an important factor. TE CJ Fiedorowicz has 23 catches for 230 yards and five touchdowns.
Linebacker Anthony Hitchens leads Iowa on defense with 95 tackles and 13 of these have been for losses. Also linebacker James Morris has 90 tackles and Christian Kirksey has 86 tackles. By the way defensive lineman Drew Ott (Giltner Ne) has 46 tackles this year.
Iowa's defense is very good. They are third in the Big Ten in yardage allowed with 304.5 yards a game.
The Iowa offensive line has only given up 10 sacks this year. This will be something that Nebraska must overcome to be successful.
I believe that Ron Kellogg will start on Senior Day. It is unknown if Tommy Armstrong can even play. Jamal Turner should play. Offensive linemen that have been hurt are Sirles, Cotton, Pensick, and Moudy should get to play.
Alonzo Moore is out for NU due to a knee problem.
Go Big Red!!!!
