Nebraska dominated Iowa today behind a great defensive game and just enough Rex Burkhead and Kenny Bell for the offense to put up a few points.
Burkhead ran well on the edge and between the tackles. Taylor Martinez made no major mistakes. Alfonzo Dennard proved he is the top defensive back in the Big Ten Conference. The game plan kept excellent ball control today. This is the team Nebraska is, run the ball and play aggressive defense. Nothing flashy, just good football.
The Huskers will now wait for bowl pairings next weekend. The team played sound football today against a team that simply did not play as well as Nebraska. Special teams made no mistakes today and that is what Nebraska needed to win.
The Big Red is a better football team than Iowa. For the first time in several weeks, the Huskers played a full sixty minute football game on both sides of the ball. As for the Heroes Game, I like the way Nebraska played. Plus Rex Burkhead showed Husker fans who the hero has been throughout the 2011 season.
