Nebraska at Iowa

The winner receives the Heroes Trophy.

While there is technically nothing at stake, this is a pivotal game in the West.

The Cornhuskers are trying to end their season winning five out of their last six games. That would be huge boost for Scott Frost to take into the off-season.

The Hawkeyes need to prove they are still one of the top teams in the division.

Iowa certainly has the defense to slow down Adrian Martinez, but I don’t think that will happen.

I am expecting a high-scoring shootout with a critical turnover late in the fourth quarter deciding the outcome.

Nebraska wins 41-38.
