Minnesota overcame an early 10-point deficit to beat Nebraska 20-13 in Lincoln. It was a tale of two halves for both of these teams. Nebraska controlled the first two quarters and the script flipped with Minnesota dominating the final two behind 128 yards and 2 touchdowns from Mohamed Ibrahim. The Gophers scored 20 unanswered points in the second half to take the lead and improve to 6-3 on the season.
The Gopher offense was facing the worst defense in the Big Ten and in the first half, they were absolutely terrible by every measure. They managed -7 yards rushing (mostly due to 3 sacks), 31 total yards of offense and the ultimate measure of ZERO points.
