2024 Episode 36: The Huskers Lost The Mental Game To Iowa

Husker Doc Talk

Statistically, Nebraska dominated Iowa. However, as we found out on Black Friday, the final score is the only thing that matters: Iowa 13, Nebraska 10.

In this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, Dr. Rob Zatechka discusses the mental side of the game, which is just as important as the physical part. Dr. Rob discusses with Travis Justice that the pregame handshake, or lack thereof, indicated that the Huskers were ready for the little things it takes to win a game.

Did the mind games before the game play a part in the final outcome? There's no way to prove it, but there's no way to disprove it either.

Last Friday's Nebraska and Iowa game was just an appetizer in a wild weekend of rivalry week. The Huskers now wait to see who they will play in a bowl game while Penn State and Oregon battle for the Big 10 Championship, and we wait for the official college football playoff bracket to be set.
