Huskers sputter against Gophers

Nebraska could not recover from a slow start as short-handed Minnesota worked its way to a 24-17 win over the Huskers at Memorial Stadium.

In a game that often lacked flow, Minnesota took advantage of a tipped pass that resulted in an interception by Tyler Nubin to set the Golden Gophers up with a short field. Four plays and 35 yards later, Minnesota took a 7-0 lead on a Mohamed Ibrahim 26-yard touchdown run with 7:26 left in the first quarter.

The Gophers added a 31-yard Anders Gelecinskyi field goal near the end of the first quarter to take a 10-0 lead to the second.

Nebraska took the lead with a pair of second-quarter touchdowns but was kept out of the end zone the rest of the way.

Commentary

Stryker

Few societies known to man have shown as much propensity to erase signs of their own advancement as Frost’s offensive platoon.

HuskerMax
Shatel

The coach is correct that the play-caller is only as good as the execution. But it’s his job to put the players in the best position to execute, too.

Omaha World-Herald
Christopherson

Where have you gone I-back? It needs to become a central part of this Husker offense again.

Sipple

The Gophers played keep-away from a bad offense. Frost played into Minnesota's hands by playing fast and getting nowhere.

Lincoln Journal Star
Callahan

Nothing went right for NU's passing game other than maybe the touchdown pass to a wide-open Austin Allen. Everything else felt forced, off, or predictable.

HuskerOnline
Vogel

There seems to be a power in being at peace with what you are and aren’t. It’s one Nebraska’s still searching for.

Hail Varsity
Chatelain

Frost must fix this offense before August 2021. ... He has to find a way. He can’t put his fans through another fall like this.

Omaha World-Herald
Wirt

At a certain point, there’s only so much talk about progress, a changed culture and good weeks of practices that a fanbase can tolerate
