per ESPN's blog on: Meaningful Big Ten moments from last season that will resonate in 2015
3. Minnesota arrives, Bo Pelini departs: If Nebraska's decision-makers had truly made their mind up about Bo Pelini's future with the program before he closed the regular season with a win over Iowa, falling out of a wild chase for the West Division down the stretch and then losing the final home game of the season were the final straws. And while Minnesota was delivering the final blow to his run with the Huskers via its monumental win on the road, it also stamped itself as a legitimate contender in the league -- not just at the end of 2014, but heading into 2015 as well. The Gophers would come up short against Wisconsin in the de facto division title game, but they proved themselves more than capable of competing again with the best in the league thanks to Jerry Kill's rebuilding efforts, and the meeting with Nebraska provided something of a turning point for both sides.
