Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says the Hawkeyes turned their season around by focusing on the game in front of them and that can’t change this week. The Hawkeyes host a Black Friday game against Nebraska and with a victory will make a second straight trip to the Big Ten Championship game.

The Hawkeyes were 3-4 and a humiliating loss at Ohio State but have won four straight.

Iowa will be without tight end Sam LaPorta and fullback Monte Pottebaum but Ferentz says both could return before the season is over.

Ferentz says the last two games are why turnovers are the most important stat in a football game. The Hawkeyes won despite being outgained.

Iowa State looks to play the role of spoiler this week with a visit to fourth ranked TCU. The Cyclones are 4-7 and visit a TCU team that is 11-0 after escaping with a last second win at Baylor.

That’s Iowa State coach Matt Campbell who says experience has helped the Horned Frogs in close games. Their last seven wins have been by 10 points or fewer.

Former Lewis Central standout Max Duggan quarterbacks a TCU team that is two wins away from a spot in the College Football Playoff.

Nebraska interim coach Mickey Joseph expects the Huskers to be ready for Friday’s game at Iowa. Joseph took over for Scott Frost after a week three loss to Georgia Southern and the Huskers are 3-8.

Joseph says Iowa’s defense is consistently strong in part because the Hawkeyes don’t rely on the transfer portal.

Joseph hopes he will be considered for the permanent job.
