celebrate Nebraska's lone touchdown against Iowa Friday at
Hastings Keno Sports Bar and Grill.
Cornhusker football fans watching Friday’s game vs. Iowa at Hastings Keno Sports Bar and Grill were banking on another end-of-the game comeback in the second half. And they got one, though some wondered if the 13-7 victory should have been as close as it was.
Trailing 7-3 at the half, Nebraska struck for 10 unanswered points in the third quarter — courtesy of a 52-yard field goal from Brett Maher and 3-yard touchdown run by Rex Burkhead — to finish 10-2 overall and 7-1 in Big 10 play. Iowa slipped to 4-8 overall and 2-6 in Big 10 play.
With the win, Nebraska secured a first-place finish in the Legends Division. But in a state where winning is expected, there were still plenty of armchair quarterbacks at HK who were less than complimentary of how the Huskers went about securing their championship crown.
