Iowa 56, Nebraska 14
LINCOLN, Neb. — With a 42-point second half, Iowa (7-5) did its part to put the finishing touches on the worst football season at Nebraska (4-8) in six decades. Akrum Wadley ran for 159 yards and three touchdowns and Iowa scored 28 points in less than a 7-minute span on its way to a 56-14 win Friday in what could have been coach Mike Riley’s last game with the Cornhuskers. The Hawkeyes now await a bowl bid, possibly from the Music City Bowl or the Pinstripe Bowl.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Defending national champion St. Francis, which is looking to become the first team to take home back-to-back banners since former member Sioux Falls accomplished the feat in 2008 and 2009, downed Northwestern, 30-3, to extend its NAIA-best winning streak to 22-straight. Saint Francis’ Justin Green once again proved to be a difference maker, as the junior raced for 179 yards and one touchdown. In nine career playoff games, Green has ran for 1,649 yards (183.2 per game) and 14 touchdowns. The Cougars reach the F-C-S semifinals for the third-straight season as they host No. 3 Morningside on December 2.
