Immediately after Cornhuskers played "Back in Black" at Memorial stadium, their fate was sealed.
The Hawkeyes earned their eighth win of the season after dominating the Cornhuskers 40-16 on the road in Lincoln.
The game looked like it was going to be all Nebraska early, as running back Emmett Johnson torched the Iowa defense.
The Iowa offense always had an answer for a Nebraska score, and following a field goal near the three-minute mark of the second quarter, the defense did not allow another point.
Iowa punched in a late touchdown with under a minute to go to end the first half, and it was all Hawkeyes after that.
