Who wins this game? And NO: "both" is not a choice:)

I'm interested to see what people think.

Gophers are much better on D, they can run the ball but they are missing a ton of play makers.

Nebraska has a solid O and is playing at home but last week.... OUCH.
 
One of only 2 games I'd like to see minny get a win.
But I think the 'holers finally get a W. Unfortunately.
 
Toss up.

We'll see if choking at NW rallies the Huskers or completely deflates them.

My gut is telling me Nebraska wins.
 
Both...

I expect a close game. Minnesota has the better defense though so I'd probably lean that way... but yeah, yuck...

Games like this is one of the few times I miss and wish there could still be ties. Looking at plus side of either team winning would be if Nebraska wins that puts another hole in Minnesota's boat in their quest to get to 6 wins and a bowl game. If Minnesota wins makes it 11 losses in a row and still win less this season for Frosty and Nebraska and on top of it almost one full calendar year since they won a game.

That being said if had to pick I'll go with the home team and think Huskers finally win and then afterwards we can hear talk from their fan base how they think they can win out and go 6-6 and still make a bowl game.
 
I don't think that the Gophers have an answer for Spielman and Morgan.

Also, the Gopher O is limited ... so for as bad as the Husker D is ... I think that the Huskers can manage to win in a comparative shoot-out.

The Gopher RB just put up 160 on the ground against Ohio State on 20 some carries. Minnesota has a solid front 7 on D. In this weather, Gophers all day. Really though, neither team is very good so we’ll see what happens

I hope you're right ... but the game is also at Memorial Stadium. Of course, that hasn't meant much this year for the Huskers ....

I suppose that if the whole Midwest is as windy as is prognosticated ... then that could neutralize some of Nebber's passing advantage.

The Gophers are the better team and NU players have to be questioning ALL their coaches after last weeks "History Making Meltdown"...

I'm going Gophers. 38-27

I don't know who wins this one. I think it will be another close game like the Nebraska Northwestern game.
 
Don’t see much downside or upside for us either way. I suppose it’s marginally better for us if the Goofs win.

Something tells me Nub takes it tho.
 
To be fair we spotted Minnesota 14 points.

Hey... I hope you all are right and the Goofs win. I just don’t think they will. 38-21.... there added a Goof TD

I think this would be a more devastating loss for Minnesota although it's hard to say.
