Nebraska's football season is officially over. Any talk of going to a bowl with a 5-7 record was put to rest with a 4-8 finish. There were still some things of note and some signs of hope from this game.
Stanley got his 1,000
Senior wide receiver Stanley Morgan became the first Husker receiver to ever top 1,000 yards in a season. He came up 14-yards short a year ago.

Maurice Washington continues to show how dangerous he's going to be
Mo got bottled up on the ground. Just nine yards on five carries. He showed he can hurt you multiple ways as he had seven catches for 107 yards and a touchdown. That included a 35-yard catch.
Maurice Washington over 100 yards receiving today with that catch. First NU running back to top 100 receiving in a game since Marlon Lucky in 2007.

We need to talk about the defense
Iowa entered the game 80th in the country on offense. They were 86th running the ball. They ran for 266 yards (5.9 yards per carry) and two touchdowns. The Huskers' run defense was terrible all season but this was a game they needed to force Iowa to win by throwing it and they didn't.
