It wasn’t out of the ordinary to see so much Iowa black and gold downtown before Friday’s game.
What was surprising was the amount that found its way into the stadium.
Memorial Stadium, which will always be red dominant, saw more opposing colors in it than in recent memory.
One Iowa fan bought a close enough seat to hold an Iowa flag just above the tunnel before the Tunnel Walk. The HuskerVision camera didn’t pick it up, but it foreshadowed how the game played out.
There was a very loud “I-O-W-A” chant that echoed through the concourse after Jordan Canzeri’s 29-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter.
