Husker Football Tickets

Hawkeyes bring multi-level attack to finale

If you have Husker football tickets for Friday's season finale between Nebraska and Iowa, you are going to see a very talented Iowa offense take the field at Memorial Stadium.
Iowa's offense has a number of big-time players who are capable of putting up big numbers on opposing defenses, which has been a scary thought for defensive coordinators this season.
Iowa can move the ball well on the ground and through the air. They have a talented running back in Marcus Coker and a quality quarterback in James Vandenberg who knows how to find some talented receivers and get the ball up the field in a hurry.
Iowa has demonstrated that they are a team that doesn't know how to quit. They came back from a 24-point deficit earlier this year to beat Pittsburgh, and while they are 7-4 on the season, a number of their wins have been of the come-from-behind variety, which means opposing fans don't get much chance to get comfortable if their team gets a big lead on the Hawkeyes.
The Iowa offense starts with Marcus Coker, a 6-foot, 230-pound sophomore running back from Beltsville, Md. Coker broke out late last year as a freshman and had a monster game (33 carries, 219 yards) during Iowa's win over Missouri in the Insight Bowl, and that success has carried over this season. He is the team's leading rusher this year, averaging almost 118 yards a game. He has scored 14 rushing touchdowns this year, and also averages more than 10 yards a catch in the receiving department.
Iowa is led by quarterback James Vandenberg, who has thrown for more than 2,600 yards and 23 touchdowns this year. A smart quarterback, Vandenberg has completed more than 60 percent of his passes and has just five interceptions.
One of Vandenberg's favorite targets this year has been Marvin McNutt. The wide receiver has proven to be an explosive cog in the Iowa offensive machine, catching 74 passes for 1,240 yards and 12 touchdowns. He is one of three solid receivers that have shared the bulk of the pass-catching duties this season, including Keenan Davis (596 yards, four TD) and Kevon Martin-Manley (292 yards, three TD).
The Hawkeyes have shown they are capable of putting up some big numbers offensively this season. They average more than 30 points and 389 yards per game this season, and they will give the Blackshirt defense a good test in the season finale for both teams Friday at Memorial Stadium.

Huskers heading to Michigan, "The BIg House"

When it comes to legendary stadiums, few can match "The Big House," also known as Michigan Stadium, the site where fans with Husker football tickets will visit Saturday when Nebraska takes on Michigan.
Originally constructed in 1927 at a cost of $950,000, the stadium has grown from its original capacity of 72,000 to its present capacity, which is listed at 109,901. More than 110,000 fans are a regular occurrence at Michigan Stadium, making for one of the loudest and most intense stadium settings for visiting teams and their fans to experience.
An average of 106,300 fans have filled up Michigan Stadium since 1975, where the Wolverines have posted an impressive winning percentage of .825 (179-44-1) heading into the 2011 season.
Michigan Stadium has seen more than its share of historic football games over the years.
In 2003, the stadium held the largest crowd ever to see a Div. I college football game, as 112,118 fans filled up the place to watch the Wolverines beat arch rival Ohio State 35-21 to clinch the Big Ten Conference championship. That year, Michigan set the record for average attendance, averaging almost 111,000 fans per contest, a mark they eclipsed last year after Michigan Stadium was renovated. An average of 111,825 fans hit the turnstiles to watch the Wolverines.
The longest game in Big Ten history was played in Michigan Stadium. On Oct. 30, 2004, Michigan came back from a 17-point deficit to force overtime against in-state rival Michigan State, and eventually came away with an exciting 45-37 victory over the Spartans.
Last year, the stadium was the scene for a world record, as an outdoor hockey rink was installed to host a hockey matchup between Michigan and in-state rival Michigan State. The Wolverines prevailed 5-0 in a game called "The Big Chill at The Big House" and was played before a record crowd of 113,411.
Michigan has ranked first in attendance every year since 1974, with the exception of the 1997 season. It's guaranteed to be an intense, exciting atmosphere when the Huskers come to town, as both teams are in the hunt for the Legends Division title.
