1. On paper this is one of the biggest special teams disparities Nebraska will face all season. Minnesota leads the nation in punt returns, averaging 28.7 yards per attempt, and the Gophers are 10th nationally in punt return yards allowed, having given up just 11 punt return yards all season. Minnesota is also a top-20 team in net punting, averaging 41.3 yards per kick. Nebraska has been better in the punt game since Isaac Armstrong took over in the second quarter of the Wisconsin game, but if this turns into a battle of field position, NU could be in trouble.
