Iowa wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette got off to a fast start against Nebraska on Friday. Literally.

Smith-Marsette took a reverse 45 yards for the first touchdown of the game, giving the Hawkeyes a 7-0 lead in their regular-season finale.

Quarterback Nate Stanley handed the ball off to Tyler Goodson before the running back pitched it to Smith-Marsette, who found plenty of green space in front of him with Stanley serving as his lead blocker.
