Will Compton has been with Bo Pelini for all the ups and downs in the Nebraska football program the past five years.

No one in the Cornhuskers’ camp wants a Big Ten championship more than the middle linebacker from Bonne Terre, Mo.

A win over Iowa (4-7, 2-5 Big Ten) on Friday secures the 17th-ranked Huskers’ spot in the Big Ten title game against Wisconsin and a chance to play for the school’s first conference championship since 1999.

Compton says he’s never won a championship of any kind. He says he and the other 28 seniors have been through so much at Nebraska (10-2, 6-1) that it would be disappointing to end the season with anything less than a title.
