Several Iowa seniors who returned for an extra season will play their final game in Kinnick Stadium Friday night when the Hawkeyes host Nebraska.

After leading the nation in tackles last season linebacker Jay Higgins returned for an extra season.

Higgins says he wanted to play college football as long as he could.

Linebacker Nick Jackson returned for a second year with the Hawkeyes after transferring from Virginia.

Jackson says the added season made him feel like he was more than just a transfer.

Iowa defensive tackle Yahya (Y-ay) Black expects an old school Big Ten battle against Nebraska.
