The Iowa Hawkeyes football players appeared to get the last laugh after a heated pregame exchange in the annual rivalry game against Nebraska.

Following Iowa’s 13-10 win over rival Nebraska on Friday, Hawkeyes linebackers Jay Higgins and Nick Jackson called out Cornhuskers head coach Matt Rhule and the team’s captains for their pregame antics. “So we immediately knew what type of game this was,” Higgins said.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers blew a halftime lead in Friday night's 13-10 loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes but Iowa linebacker Jay Higgins added insult to injury, calling out Nebraska players and head coach Matt Rhule for refusing to shake their hands before the game.
