The Nebraska Cornhuskers, preseason contenders in the Big Ten West, suffered a bit of a setback on Saturday night, as the Minnesota Golden Gophers ran roughshod over them in a 34-7 rout to maintain a perfect 6-0 record on the year. What an unfortunate turn of events for head coach Scott Frost in his second year at the helm of his alma mater. You hate to see it.
I think that’s enough schadenfreude, right?
The Elite
The Minnesota Movers. The Gophers’ offensive line was up against perhaps the biggest and strongest defensive line they have faced so far this season, and were forced to do battle without sophomore right tackle Daniel Faalele, sidelined with a lingering injury from the Illinois game.
