Feuding foes will turn from verbal arguments into on-the-field football when Iowa heads to Lincoln to cap off the 2011 regular season against Nebraska's beloved Cornhuskers.

Both teams have their own opinions as to why their respected teams should win, but both teams are lacking one thing: something to officially name this rivalry.
