Noah Fant is putting on a show in his home state.
After catching a program-best ninth touchdown pass in the first half, the Iowa tight end was targeted again in the third quarter, this time racing 68 yards to the end zone to give the Hawkeyes a four-touchdown lead over the Huskers.
Fant, an Omaha, Nebraska native, eclipsed the 100-yard mark and recorded his second touchdown reception of the game on this play:

The score gives Fant 10 touchdowns on the year, a single-season record for an Iowa tight end.
He’s just rubbing salt in Nebraska’s wound at this point.
