In the third quarter, Minnesota pinned Nebraska on the 1 yard line. Nebraska promptly marched down the field and scored to take a 31-14 lead. In my mind, that was a microcosm of a game where Minnesota's injuries on defense finally affected the outcome of the game. The Gophers are too banged up on the defensive side of the ball to present a realistic challenge to a top offense. In Nebraska, Minnesota faced a team that had an excellent sense of what would and would not work against the Gophers.
Mitch Leidner started the game 17/19 with a Touchdown.
