Minnesota - Nebraska will be close to a pick em with the Gophers hosting. Gophers 2-0 this season as a slight underdog.
 


Not surprising. We've looked really unpredictable.


Neb had a quality loss to Michigan.
 


I'm hoping Nebraska gives 3 or more this week. I'm feeling a bet on the Gophers since I think having the full WR group and 2 weeks to prepare will make a difference.

Nebraska has a lot of quality losses.
One bad loss.

Minnesota has one quality loss and one bad loss

Minnesota has one solid win.
Nebraska has no solid wins.


I predict Nebraska plays a game they should win, loses, then Purdue fans have a big debate on a message board if Nebraska is a top 25 caliber opponent even though they’re 3-5 with a loss to Illinois and zero quality wins
 

Nebraska doesn’t have a quality win this year, but it piles up yardage and points even against quality opponents. My concern is simple: Our No. 1 and No. 2 RBs are out and we like to run the ball excessively, and seem to be very reticent to engage in a robust passing game. If we go Bowling Green 2.0, with an offensive game plan that is predictable (and moribund) by design, one that self-suffocates opportunities for explosive plays, we will most likely lose to Nebraska … unless our defense saves the day with at least 3 takeaways besides dominant play, and we get superb STs play. I hope that we utilize all our weapons on offense against Nebraska.

The Tressel Ball formula was an iffy strategy for the Gophers with Mo and Trey healthy and available. It became a less sapient strategy with Trey healthy but Mo out. It is IMHO an untenable strategy with both Mo and Trey out. Creativity and adaption of play calling to available strengths are required. We don’t have a Tressel Ball roster at the moment.
