Media Prediction Thread: Minnesota at Nebraska

CFN is first out of the gate:

What’s Going To Happen
How much can Minnesota impose its will with the ground game? The passing attack hasn’t worked all year like it should’ve, and now there’s no Rashod Bateman to rely on.

Nebraska won’t be sharp, but it’ll move the ball just well enough to overcome a massive day from the Gopher ground game with a third straight strong performance from Nebraska QB Adrian Martinez.

Nebraska 34, Minnesota 27

Greder chimes in:

Prediction: Nebraska is a 10-point favorite because of the 20-plus players out for Minnesota, and the full extent of how shorthanded the U will be won’t be known until pregame warmups. But without Bateman and a leaky defense, the U could be headed for another blowout loss. Nebraska, 35-21

Final Analysis

Several aspects of this tilt trend in Nebraska's direction, though they've been heavily assisted by undisciplined play that has rivaled their own in both wins. The Golden Gophers average only four penalties per game to the Huskers' seven. Both teams claim a negative turnover margin, with Minnesota also converting third downs at a 53 percent clip versus the Big Red's 34.

Scoring in the second half has proved difficult for Nebraska, but the Gophers have a similar affliction having racked up all of 46 points over their schedule's latter 20 quarters (2.3 per). The Huskers have put up a scant 36 (1.5 per) during their 24.

Another Big Red victory comes the same way those against Penn State and Purdue did. They take a comfortable lead into the half and hold on tight. Purdue managed 334 yards through the air including an 89-yard jaunt for a score courtesy of David Bell. Look for Ibrahim to break free for some big chunk plays — if not a couple of long touchdown runs — but the Huskers keep things interesting until the final moments yet again.
