Notes: NU finds way to respond in third quarter; Davis, Huskers motivated to score a lot vs. Gophers

The first-year Nebraska football coach watched as Minnesota scored 22 straight points to pull with 28-22 midway though the third quarter Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

After all, fans had seen the Huskers drop 10 straight, and most recently, they saw NU let a late 10-point lead at Northwestern turn into defeat.

"I even thought it myself," Frost said after the Huskers' 53-28 win. "I've seen this movie before."

But Nebraska (1-6, 1-3 Big Ten) responded in a big way. A four-play drive, capped by Stanley Morgan's 35-yard touchdown catch, gave the Huskers some breathing room.

NU freshman quarterback Adrian Martinez said the offense knew what it had to do when Seth Green's 4-yard touchdown pulled the Gophers to within a touchdown.
