If there is an opponent that encapsulates Nebraska football’s futility over the last seven years, I think Minnesota would be my choice. In 2017, Minnesota hung 54 points on the Huskers, then failed to score a single point the rest of the season, losing by a combined 70-0 margin to Northwestern and Wisconsin. In 2018, Husker fans got a sense of hope as the Huskers hung 53 points and 659 yards of offense...but it was false hope. 2019 was a complete throttling, while in 2020, a Gopher team that was short-handed coming off of a COVID quarantine did the same.
