Rivalry Week is officially here as the Hawkeyes travel to Lincoln on Friday to battle the Cornhuskers.
The Iowa-Nebraska rivalry dates back to 1891, but the intensity has ramped up over the past decade with Nebraska joining the Big Ten Conference.
Nebraska may hold the all-time series lead with a 30-22-3 record, but the Hawkeys have dominated the rivalry lately.
Iowa is 9-1 in the previous 10 meetings between the two programs, which has led to more heated rhetoric and hatred.
Iowa Head Coach Kirk Ferentz spoke at length about the storied rivalry between the two schools, but stressed he wants his squad to focus on the game, not the rivalry.
