***Official Nebraska vs Iowa Game Thread***

1st Quarter Impressions:

  • These two stats will be key today: Rushing Yards & Turnovers. We have to win both of these battles or it will be a long day.
  • Besides some poor tackling, the defensive front has played solid, and the coverage hasn't been that bad either.
  • Iowa will continue to work those outside edges with stretch plays & counters to setup boot-legs & waggles later in the game.
  • So far, the story of the first quarter is the same for Nebraska in general over the last several years...we are our own worst enemy.

Things I would like to see in the 2nd Quarter:

  1. Even though it is spotty at best, Beck needs to stick with the ground game...even if that means we have to punt. We need to settle Ronnie down, play a field position/ 4 quarter game.
  2. Get the tight ends involved in the game plan with some underneath easy reads for Ronnie.
  3. Find unique ways to get Ameer involved in the game any way possible.
