Huskers' QB-heavy run game faces tall task with Iowa, the Big Ten's best run-stopping unit

Iowa closed out an impressive 41-21 victory against Penn State on Saturday with a highlight that will play on the reel the rest of the season and beyond.

Hawkeye defensive tackle Daviyon Nixon picked off a pass attempt in the flat and took it 71 yards to the house with a little bit of fancy ball-handling en route. It was one of the more impressive defensive plays of the season in the Big Ten and a feather in the cap for fans of Big Man Touchdowns everywhere.

More than flash, though, this Iowa defensive line hangs its hat on force.
