The Nebraska football team looked like a team that were going to finish the season with a dominant win over the Iowa Hawkeyes. And then the Huskers did what they've done far too often. They couldn't find a way to close things out.
After building a 10-0 halftime lead, the Huskers didn't score a point in the second half and fumbled away a chance to forge a game winning drive to end the game. When Dylan Raiola was sacked and fumbled, Iowa recovered and kicked the game winning field goal.
After the game, it should come as no surprise that Nebraska football fans had some strong reactions to the loss. A loss that could have been avoided. And a loss that felt too familiar.
