Huskers lose 13-10 heartbreaker to No. 17 Iowa

It all came down to this for Nebraska football.

It all came down to this for Nebraska football. A Black Friday game at home on Senior Day against No. 17 Iowa. Both teams found ways all season to either win or lose. That didn’t change today as the Huskers and the Hawkeyes found a way. For Nebraska, it was a way to lose, and for Iowa, it was a way to win.

For the third time this season, the Huskers watched as their opponent kicked the go-ahead field goal to take a 13-10 win. Yet somehow, this one was the most remarkable. Tied 10-10 with less than a minute to go, Tommi Hill picked off Iowa’s Deacon Hill to give Nebraska an opportunity to get into field goal range. But then a few plays later, Chubba Purdy threw an interception, putting the Hawkeyes in field goal range.

Purdy’s lone interception, along with his second-quarter fumble, resulted in both of Iowa’s field goals on the afternoon. He finished the game with 189 yards passing and a touchdown pass.

Freshman Jaylen Lloyd once again was on the receiving end of Purdy’s touchdown pass, this time hauling in a 66-yard bomb and turning on the jets to take it for the score. Freshman Tristan Alvano went 1-of-2 in field goal kicking, nailing a 44-yarder with the wind to his back and missing a 44-yarder into the wind.

Nebraska’s defense put together another big showing, despite once again coming up short. The Blackshirts held Deacon Hill to 94 yards passing, along with picking him off once. Though it surrendered 163 yards rushing, Nebraska’s defense made up for it in field goal blocking. The Huskers blocked two field goals in the loss, keeping them in the game. However, Iowa found a way to sneak off with the win.

The Huskers finish the regular season at 5-7, their best season since 2019, but will not be bowl-eligible. If Nebraska isn’t selected, it will be the seventh straight year without a bowl game trip.

Purdy discusses the mood of the quarterback room

Nebraska quarterback Chubba Purdy met with the media on Monday afternoon.

Nebraska quarterback Chubba Purdy met with the media on Monday afternoon. During his time with the press, Purdy discussed his relationship with fellow quarterbacks Heinrich Haarberg and Jeff Sims.

“Me, Heinrich (Haarberg) and Jeff (Sims). We are all really tight. Off season we were all hanging out and whoever the next man up was for that game we were always there for each other, watching film with each other, giving each other encouragement and on the sidelines we’d ask them what they see. We’d go through our reads and coverages. I think our friendship is super tight and I think that’s what is important.”

Last week, the quarterback was 15/24 passing for 169 yards with one touchdown and one interception in an overtime loss at Wisconsin. Purdy also added 105 yards on the ground on 14 carries. Matt Rhule told the media on Monday that he was pleased with how Purdy played on Saturday.

“I thought Chubba played well. He came in on Sunday and he and I sat down. I think the thing that takes you from good to great is when you go back and look and say ‘hey, what are the plays I could have done?’, not just concentrate on the things that you did well. I think there were maybe four, five, six plays where the first progression wasn’t there, maybe he scrambles in the backside and cuts wide open, but a couple more reps over the course of the season, maybe he gets back to that a little easier. But I thought he was in command the whole game. I thought he protected the ball. I thought he had great energy. I thought he was making a lot of good decisions.”

Purdy has thrown for 193 yards for the season with one touchdown and two interceptions. He’s also carried the ball 17 times for 138 yards and one touchdown.

Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule has not yet named a starter for Friday’s game against Iowa. Kick-off is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. and can be seen on CBS.
