The Iowa football team aims to retain the Heroes Trophy when it hosts Nebraska on Friday night. The Cornhuskers and Hawkeyes are each coming off victories and are each bowl-eligible for the first time since 2016. Sitting at 6-6, Nebraska is led by quarterback Dylan Raiola, a heralded recruit who flipped his commitment from Georiga and arrived at Lincoln with much fanfare. The 6-foot-3 Raiola has had an up-and-down season in his first year, completing 66 percent of his passes for 2,405 yards and 12 touchdowns, but also tossing 10 interceptions. 

On defense, the Huskers rank top-five in the Big Ten in interceptions, touchdowns, and tackles for loss. Yielding only 110.9 rushing yards per game to its opponents, the Cornhuskers could pose problems for a Hawkeye ground game that will once again have to rely on a run-oriented offense with Jackson Stratton back starting under center. 

Nebraska leads the all-time series, 30-21-3.
