The Minnesota Golden Gophers have not seen the field since their 34-31 win over Purdue on Friday, Nov. 20 due to a COVID-19 outbreak within the program, but the Gophers could return to action on Saturday, Dec. 12 against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The game is scheduled to kickoff at 11 a.m. in Lincoln and will be televised on either FS1 or the Big Ten Network.
The Cornhuskers are 2-4 but coming off perhaps their best game of the season, defeating Purdue on the road, 37-27. Nebraska started the season 0-2 after losses to Ohio State and Northwestern, then rebounded to beat a Penn State team that was winless at the time.
