L   7 - 42 

Disaster best describes Iowa's performance on offense in the first half. By halftime, the Hawks managed only one first down, that coming on the last play of the half, and one total yard on offense. On three of Iowa 's first six possessions, the Hawks lost yardage. Nebraska scored a touchdown late in the first half on a bad snap from center, taking a 28-0 lead into halftime. Chuck Long's starting job may be in jeopardy. He was taken out after throwing an interception in the third period and Tom Grogan came in, leading Iowa to its lone touchdown. Cornelius Robertson, the highly-touted junior college transfer, saw action late in the game. It wasn't until the third period the Hawks came to life, and a penalty against Nebraska for roughing the punter sparked Iowa's touchdown drive. From there, Grogan, running back Owen Gill and tight end Mike Hufford worked together on the 14-play, 89-yard drive.
