Huskers head to Iowa City – Game Day at Connolly’s – Nov. 25 – Kickoff 1:00 p.m. AZ time
At the Huskers last home game, a late-game score pushed Wisconsin to a 15-14 victory over Nebraska, after the Badgers punched in a one-yard rushing touchdown with 35 seconds left. It was the third score of the half for Wisconsin who scored all 15 points in the 2nd half after being shutout in the first half. It hurts to lose again, especially by only 1 point!
Nebraska now heads to Iowa City for its final game of the 2022 season as they face the Hawkeyes for the team’s annual “Black Friday” matchup. Kickoff time is set for 1 p.m. AZ time with TV coverage being provided by the Big Ten Network.
The Matchup
Nebraska heads into the contest with a 3-8 overall record and a 2-6 mark in Big Ten play. The Huskers suffered another close setback on Saturday, when Wisconsin escaped Lincoln with a 15-14 victory. Nebraska held a 14-3 edge heading into the final quarter, but the Badgers engineered two fourth-quarter touchdown drives for the victory. The loss marked Nebraska’s fifth loss this season by seven or fewer points, including four in Big Ten play.
Iowa comes into the contest playing its best football of the 2022 season. The Hawkeyes have won four straight games to put themselves into position for a second straight Big Ten West Division crown and a trip to the Big Ten Championship game. Iowa stands at 7-4 overall and 5-3 in Big Ten play, and a victory on Friday will clinch the Hawkeyes a spot in the conference title game in Indianapolis on Dec. 3.

Announcing Huskers N Arizona Scholarship Winner for 2022
Our Huskers have a bye week this Saturday 10/22, so it seemed like a good time to announce our scholarship winner for 2022, Christian Jax Almodovar.
Just to remind you, one of the goals of our non-profit club is to raise money for scholarships. Earlier this year, we sent $1000.00 to the University of Nebraska to go towards a Scholarship for a deserving student. Several years ago we began our own scholarship contest for qualified students who plan to attend UNL, or any Arizona school or university. Two key stipulations are: 1)self, parent or grandparent a current paid member of Huskers N Arizona, and 2)self, parent or grandparent born in Nebraska. The deadline was July 28, 2022. Our Board conferred in August to determine the recipient(s), and awarded him the amount we had allocated this year, $5000. (He was the only applicant.)
Here’s a little about him:
Christian is 18 years old and graduated from Pinnacle High School in Phoenix this May with a 3.15 GPA. In addition to being a good student, he was also active in extra-curricular activities such as being the captain of the high school Robotics team, playing on the Pinnacle HS Varsity Hockey Team, volunteering for his church, the Anthony Bates Foundation, and Huskers N Arizona. He received glowing letters of recommendation from his hockey coaches and a former teacher. He is enrolled at Arizona State University this fall in their Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering program with a major in Electrical Engineering.
Please keep our scholarship program in mind for yourself, your kids, or grandkids for next year and on. Here is a link to our Application Form so that you can be aware of the qualifications.
