History
The two schools met often throughout the 1890s and the first half of the 20th century, but played only six times in the second half. Following Nebraska's move to the Big Ten Conference in 2011, the teams again meet annually. The Heroes Trophy has been awarded to the winner of the game since 2011. Nebraska leads the series 29-16-3.
The proximity of the two teams played an important role in the early days of the game, with exclusive trains running between Iowa City and Lincoln to allow fans to travel. After Nebraska moved to the Big Ten Conference, the teams have played annually on the Friday following Thanksgiving, however, in 2020 and 2021 the game will not take place on the Friday following Thanksgiving.
