IOWA CITY \u2212 One win from back-to-back Big Ten West division titles, Iowa football met a familiar foe in the final game of the regular season: Nebraska.<\/p>\n

The annual Heroes Game between the two rivals came with extra implications in 2022. The Hawkeyes had an opportunity to walk off the field at Kinnick Stadium with two trophies: one for the game and the other for the Big Ten West division title.<\/p>\n

But Iowa’s improbable run to the Big Ten championship game fell short on Friday as a lopsided first half prevented the Hawkeyes from ending the regular season with five straight wins. Nebraska defeated Iowa 24-17 to break a seven-game losing streak in the series and give Iowa a sour taste before its next game, whenever that may be.<\/p>\n
