The Huskers hope to get their football fortunes back on track this weekend as they take on regional rival Iowa State this weekend. Saturday's 11:30 a.m. kickoff will give fans an early start to their football weekend, and you can get tickets for the game now at Ticket Express.
Historically, the city of Lincoln has never been particularly kind to the Iowa State football team. In more than 40 trips to Lincoln, the Cyclones have come away with just six victories, the last coming in 1977. Iowa State has won only once in Memorial Stadium since Bob Devaney became coach in 1962, and its only recent wins, in 2004 and 2006, both came on the Cyclones' home field. Their biggest win over the Husker football team in Lincoln was a 33-0 shutout...in 1899.
Iowa State comes into the game on something of a high, though, as the Cyclones got their first conference road win in more than two years Saturday with a 24-10 win at Baylor. First-year coach Paul Rhoads got the win after two heartbreaking losses to open the conference docket, a 24-23 loss to Kansas State and a 41-36 defeat at ranked Kansas.
Iowa State running back Alexander Robinson leads the Big 12 in rushing at 105.3 yards per game, and their offensive line has done a good job protecting the quarterback, giving up just seven sacks so far this season.
Regardless of past history, the matchup between the Huskers and Iowa State is always a fun one, and you can get tickets to see the Husker football team battle the Cyclones now at Ticket Express -- where no Husker football game is ever sold out.
