This was an ugly game, but a Nebraska team that’s been criticized for being fragile and folding when things go bad deserves enormous credit for staying together, counting on key plays from various players and rallying for a victory — even if against just another ordinary Iowa team. Nebraska had key starters missing on both sides of the line, overcame a couple of disastrous plays (the interception, the “butt-punt”) and still found a way to reclaim the Heroes Trophy.

They have play calling at a "B".

 

I'm going closer to "C".........based simply on the fact that Abdullah had 15 total touches.

[Abdullah the Butcher]

I averaged a "B" in school.

The fact that the Hawkeyes couldn't win with things like the 'butt punt' says more about them than us. This was a game where both teams were trying to give it away but each was too polite or incompetent to pick it up. The whole game can be summed up with non-advanced blocked field goal. It was like two squads of Keystone Cops battling it out with slapsticks. In the end, Iowa managed to make the dumber decisions; and Nebraska walked away with the Middle of the Second Quartile of the Big Ten Trophy.
