With a win over the Cornhuskers on Saturday, the Gophers can earn their sixth win and bowl eligibility. PJ Fleck is 4-1 against Nebraska, including three straight wins. Last week, Minnesota ran for 255 yards, including 159 yards and three touchdowns, from senior Mo Ibrahim.
Expect more of the same Saturday, as the Cornhuskers’ defense ranks No. 115 in the country against the run, allowing 190.1 yards per game and 4.75 yards per carry. Nebraska is 3-5 this season, 2-3 in the Big Ten and fired coach Scott Frost after a 45-42 loss to Georgia Southern and 1-2 start.
The Cornhuskers face uncertainty at quarterback, with starter Casey Thompson suffering an injury last week.
