Which is your best Iowa win over Nebby from 2013 on?

I will be rewatching these past Nebby games on You Tube this week. Love to see some great hawk players and games.

I will vote for 2015 only because the hawks got that undefeated regular season and did it at Lincoln with great defense and some huge scoring plays.

But a close second are 2016 and 2017 because of the huge beat downs and lopsided scoring.

And what is your most memorable play from these games? I would say Canzeri's second TD, the long run, in 2015 to win the game.
 
I pick 2013 because Iowa exercised a lot of ghosts that game.

Iowa had gone a long time without stopping a fake punt. Iowa finally stopped Nebraska's fake punt that game. For me, that is the 2nd most memorable play, Iowa finally stopping a fake punt, against Nebraska. Most memorable was Parker Hesse's tipped pick early in the 2015 game.

Iowa had not beaten Nebraska in a long time, and that game in 2013 finally broke the drought.

And it was not one of those fluke last second wins either, it was a complete dominating win in 2013 .

And there were some other milestones achieved, although I can't remember the all details.

2015 for sure! Undefeated Hawkeye football. Attended the game. Back home with Alum tour bus. Ass’t. AD Jennings on board. He was flat out crazy! Loved it!
 
All of them!

I'll go with the 2017 beatdown because it was a gorgeous late November day, Fant did the swan dive into the end zone, it turned into a rout, Grasshopper Gulch faithful were seen leaving Memorial Stadium in drives, and Mike Riley was canned about two hours after the game ended.

Give him props however. He at least made it to the locker room. That same afternoon Bert Beilema was told before he even left the field that his services were no longer required.
 
That was an unreal day. We flat out humiliated them. Being in their stadium and watching this game was a dream come true. (Was replying to Northside)
 
2013. Weisman running over the blackshirts was a statement of physical dominance. And the other thing I remember was Iowa had some momentum and Rudock threw a perfect pass in the end zone that KMM dropped, so they settled for a FG. I think the fake punt was the next possession for Nebraska, so what do we do the first play after? Rudock throws another perfect strike to KMM in the end zone, but he held on for the TD that time. It was almost like Kirk thought "the only way you guys can stop us right now is when we stop ourselves". The monkey was off Iowa's back at that point and other than some terrible punt coverage giving away the 2014 game we haven't lost to them since.

Yes the Weisman run always stands out and that game is a turning point.

Too bad for 2014 or it would be a hell of a win streak
