Woulda, coulda, shoulda…little things turn out to be big

The Huskers season is over too soon. Again. This team feels frustratingly close in many ways but also very far in others.

The Hawkeyes and Huskers both tried to rely on their ground game. Iowa did it far more successfully than Nebraska, averaging 7.3 yards/carry (225 total yards) compared to the Huskers 3.3 ypc (184 total yards). The passing game stats were very similar, so similar (99 yards for Iowa with 9.0 yards/completion and 100 for Nebraska with 8.3 yards/completion) that you could be tempted to point to the disparity in the run game as the reason Nebraska lost.
