Minnesota Football: RoWINg to Nebraska - Opponent Preview

The Minnesota Golden Gophers (2-3) seem set to return to game action after a two-week hiatus, heading to Lincoln for the regular season finale against the Nebraska Cornhuskers (2-4) in the annual Battle for the $5 Bits of Broken Chair Trophy.

How have the Cornhuskers fared so far this season?

It’s been a bit of a bizarre season for Nebraska. After getting blasted 52-17 by Ohio State in the season opener, the Huskers had their Week 2 game against Wisconsin cancelled. Returning to action against Northwestern, Nebraska blew a 13-7 halftime lead and was outscored 14-0 in the second half in a 21-13 loss.
