Nebraska football leads Iowa 10-0 at halftime

Nebraska football leads at halftime in Iowa City.

The Huskers face a low-scoring game, leading Iowa 10-0. NU is looking for its seventh win this year, while the Hawkeyes are looking for their eighth win.

Iowa struggled offensively in front of the net and failed to gain a first down throughout the first quarter. The Hawkeyes had five three-and-outs in the first 30 minutes. The only attempt that didn’t end in a three-pointer lasted just four games.

The Nebraska offense scored four punts in the first two quarters, highlighted by shots on goal. John Hohl hit a 31-yard field goal on NU’s first drive, while Dante Dowdell scored on a 1-yard run past defensive lineman Ty Robinson with 38 seconds left in the half.

The Hawkeyes managed just 20 total yards in the first half. The best running back in the country not named Ashton Jeanty, Kaleb Johnson, was held to 16 yards on 10 carries.

The Huskers gained 182 yards in the first half, including 96 yards on a pass from Dylan Raiola. Emmett Johnson led the backfield with 46 yards.

Nebraska will have the ball to start the second half.
