Matt McMaster offers his three keys for the Huskers to see success in Iowa City. You read it right, stop the pass. Iowa is a running team with a great back in Kaleb Johnson.

There was a different feel about Saturday. Just watching the Nebraska football offense, you could sense something was different. There seemed to be an energy present that hadn’t been there before on the turf of Memorial Stadium. With the offense’s rapid start and the defense's massive stand after a turnover in their own territory in a tie game, it was clear that this Nebraska team was tired of the narrative surrounding them. They were sick and tired of hearing about the bowl-less streak.

Matt McMaster offers his three keys for the Huskers to see success Saturday against the Badgers. The Nebraska Cornhuskers are losers of four straight. There’s a lot to be said about the Big Red’s incredibly disappointing skid after their terrific start to the season. There are a lot of plays, a lot of tape, and a lot of mistakes to point at.
