DI football reporters Danny Payne and Jordan Hansen offer their predictions for Iowa’s game with Nebraska.

…

LINCOLN, Nebraska — Hey, hey, hey. We hope you guys are as excited as we are for this game. No. 4 Iowa can, of course, finish an undefeated regular season for the first time in modern program history. Our exams are here, and our predictions are below.

I’ve bought in, I think the Hawkeyes finish it out this afternoon. Nebraska will make too many mistakes, and Iowa will do just enough to squeak one out. Prediction: Iowa 38, Nebraska 28.

Pick to Click: Jordan Canzeri. While I think LeShun Daniels Jr. is the best running back the Hawkeyes have, I see Canzeri busting a big one today and having a big day.

Iowa needs to march down the field and score on its first drive — a touchdown is preferable, but a field goal works, too. The Hawkeyes need to quiet things down and get control of the game. I think they will, too. Prediction: Iowa 31, Nebraska 24

Pick to Click: Tevaun Smith: With how bad Nebraska’s pass defense has been this season, I feel like Smith is in line for a couple big catches. Iowa might almost need him to do just that.
