LINCOLN, Neb. — Iowa won again in another chaotic, one-of-a-kind fashion. Iowa (10-2, 7-2) again won in the final seconds of a low-scoring, grind-it-out game, this time edging border-state rival Nebraska (5-7, 3-6) 13-10 on Friday at Memorial Stadium.
Marshall Meeder, the backup kicker called upon after starter Drew Stevens’ adverse first half, hit a 38-yard field goal as time expired to win the game.
Iowa defensive lineman and Cedar Rapids native Ethan Hurkett made the game-changing interception near midfield with less than a minute remaining.
Iowa running back Leshon Williams then had a 22-yard gain on the first play of the drive to put the Hawkeyes in realistic field goal range.
