LINCOLN, Neb. — Iowa will head into next week's Big Ten Championship Game on a four-game winning streak, as Marshall Meeder made a field goal as time expired to give the Hawkeyes a 13-10 win over Nebraska.
The Hawkeyes led 10-7 at the half but couldn't add anything on offense until the final play of the game after Nebraska quarterback Chubba Purdy threw an interception near midfield with less than a minute to go.
But instead of Drew Stevens, who had two field goals blocked earlier in the game, it was the senior Meeder who got the call.
And he delivered.
Iowa finishes the regular season 10-2 overall and 7-2 in conference play. Nebraska misses bowl eligibility in head coach Matt Rhule's first year, with the Cornhuskers ending the season at 5-7 overall and 3-6 in the Big Ten.
The Hawkeyes now await the winner of between No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Michigan (11 a.m. Saturday on FOX). Both teams are undefeated at 11-0 and Michigan is the home team in this year's matchup.
Nebraska has lost 24 in a row against Top 25 opponents since 2016.
GAME NOTES
Iowa: The Hawkeyes keep finding ways to win these low-scoring games. Iowa's 216 points for the season are by far the fewest of any team with nine or more wins.
Nebraska: Turnovers bit the Huskers again. They committed three against the Hawkeyes and have a Bowl Subdivision-high 31 for the season.
