History repeating itself? Iowa gets a huge turnover

A year after a late Nebraska turnover led to Iowa's game-winning field goal, Max Llwellyn stripped Nebraska QB Dylan Raiola and recovered at the 36.

Now, can the Hawkeyes win it?

Iowa 10, Nebraska 10 (0:20 4th)

Nebraska has 1:42 to drive for the win. Huskers start at their 20 with two timeouts.

Two-minute timeout.

10-10.

Iowa on its own 19 with second-and-long.

Looks like another nail-biting Iowa-Nebraska finish ...

Touchdown Iowa: Kaleb Johnson happened

Iowa settles for 3

Two runs and a pass went virtually nowhere and Iowa settled for a field goal after a ... four-play, 2-yard drive.

Drew Stevens connected from 20 yards out to get the Hawkeyes on the board.

Nebraska 10, Iowa 3 (4:30 3rd)

Special teams game changer

Nebraska's Jacory Barney Jr. signaled for a fair catch on a Rhys Dakin punt but appeared caught between two minds and pulled up.

There was a little confusion on the field as the teams chased after the apparent muffed punt but after review Barney didn't actually touch it.

But! In the ensuing scramble, Nebraska's Vincent Shavers Jr. got his hand on the ball first and Iowa's John Nestor ended up with the recovery at the Nebraska 4.

The ruling on the field stood.

Cade McNamara out, but no injury designation for Brendan Sullivan

Iowa will again be without quarterback Cade McNamara against Nebraska, according to the Hawkeyes’ pregame availability report.

Fellow quarterback Brendan Sullivan does not have an injury designation, however, raising the question of whether he will be available behind Jackson Stratton.

Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz said earlier in the week that both McNamara and Sullivan had been practicing, but Stratton still was expected to be Iowa’s starter.

Here is the full Big Ten-mandated pregame availability report.
