Jordan Canzeri broke long touchdown runs on back-to-back series in the third quarter, and No. 3 Iowa completed its first 12-win season in team history with a 28-20 victory over host Nebraska on Friday.
The Hawkeyes (12-0, 8-0 Big Ten) were far from dominant, but they were good enough against the sloppy Cornhuskers (5-7, 3-5) on a raw afternoon. As one of two remaining unbeaten teams, they will head to next week’s Big Ten championship game in the thick of the College Football Playoff race.
Canzeri ran off left tackle two straight times for two touchdowns, the first one for 29 yards and the second for 68 to give the Hawkeyes a 28-17 lead.
