The Cornhuskers needed to prove they belonged in postseason play and secure momentum entering bowl season. <b>Matt Rhule<\/b>, now in his <b>third season<\/b> as Nebraska head coach, had shown improvement but hadn&#8217;t yet overcome the Hawkeyes&#8217; recent dominance.<\/p>\n<p>Nebraska&#8217;s <b>4-4 Big Ten record<\/b> placed them in a precarious position for bowl selection. A win would solidify their bowl eligibility and provide Rhule with validation of his rebuilding efforts.

Could Iowa&#8217;s <b>rushing attack<\/b> dominate the line of scrimmage and control time of possession?
