If you care to, look at the team stats for the Nebraska-Iowa game (espn Web site). It's amazing, how did Iowa win?

Because sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.  Nebraska's Tommy Armstrong threw 4 interceptions, and Beathard threw none.  Iowa did lose one fumble, but winning the turnover battle 4-1 is a heck of a way to overcome a dud of a game from Beathard (9/16 for 97 yards).  Jordan Canzeri getting 140 yards and two TDs on 8.2 yards per carry doesn't hurt, though breaking a 68-yard run helps that average.

Iowa punted nine times in that game.  Nine times!  I'm going to go ahead and predict that if Iowa punts nine times against Stanford, they're not pulling off the win.
