Iowa outscored Nebraska 19-0 in the fourth quarter to rally for a 28-21 win on Friday in Lincoln. Kyler Fisher returned a blocked punt 14 yards for a score to kickstart the fourth quarter surge for Iowa. The Hawkeyes followed with a safety, a Caleb Shudak field goal, and a 2 yard rushing score by Spencer Petras with 2:58 remaining to complete the win.

Petras replaced Alex Padilla at quarterback in the game and went 7 of 13 passing for 102 yards and the one rushing score that was Iowa’s only offensive touchdown of the game. Caleb Shudak connected on four field goals during the contest including kicks from 51 and 48 yards in the second quarter.

The Hawkeyes improved to 10-2 overall and 7-2 in the Big Ten. They earned a share of the Big Ten West title and will now wait for the result of the Minnesota vs. Wisconsin game on Saturday to see if they can get into the Big Ten Championship game with a Gopher win.

Nebraska backup quarterback Logan Smothers ran for two touchdowns and threw for 198 yards in his start replacing the injured Adrian Martinez. Nebraska falls to 3-9 overall and 1-8 in the Big Ten.
