'We Need This': Football Fans React To Huskers Playing Hawkeyes

Raiders Blog: We Need Football And We Need It Now

The Huskers and Hawkeyes have not played each other since 2010, when Nebraska left the Big 12 Conference to join the Big Ten. The two teams have a long and storied history, with Nebraska holding a 29-19-3 record in the series.

Huskers fans are excited to see their team play the Hawkeyes again. "We've been waiting for this game for a long time," said John Smith, a season ticket holder. "This is one of the biggest rivalries in college football, and we're going to show the Hawkeyes what we're made of."

The Hawkeyes are also confident heading into the game. "We know Nebraska is a great team, but we're not going to let that intimidate us," said Hawkeye quarterback Spencer Petras. "We're going to go into Lincoln and give them a run for their money."

The Huskers-Hawkeyes game is expected to have a major economic impact on Lincoln. Hotels and restaurants are expected to be filled to capacity, and local businesses are gearing up for a busy weekend.

Both teams enter the game with 3-4 records, so the outcome is far from certain. However, one thing is for sure: the atmosphere in Lincoln will be electric. "This is going to be one of the most exciting games of the year," said Huskers head coach Scott Frost. "Our fans are going to be loud and proud, and we're going to give the Hawkeyes everything we've got."
