Lol Nebraska. 2-14 in last three years in one score games.

Nebraska is just undisciplined and entitled (entitlement streching back to the 1980s and still living in it). And, they play in a tougher conference than the Big 8, 12....or whatever the F is left of it.

I didn't think either team looked that impressive. Minnesota is definitely down compared to past years as expected considering who they lost to attrition. Sims has potential for Nebraska if he can get those interceptions in check.
That looked like a couple of bad teams out there to me... MN is adjusting to not only life after Ibrahim but that huge experienced Oline they had the last couple yrs too.
You coulda fooled me that Nebraska has a new coach. Looked like Frosts impact is still rubbing off on them. They are a volleyball school now.

They have tried to win using a QB who can run buy couldn’t throw an accurate pass beyond 5 yards for 20 years and somehow it’s still not working. Their line is a disaster too. Zero fundamentals.

As I went into this game, I was thinking about which team is a bigger threat to Iowa and winning the West. As I watched it, I was thinking that they're both inferior to Iowa. Minnesota's OL was atrocious last night and I thought about them trying to do anything with our DL. They shouldn't be able to move the ball much at all against us. I hate to say this, but a conservative offense that doesn't turn the ball over should be able to let the defense win the game.

I thought the exact same thing. The second coming of Tommy Armpunt.

For those of you suggesting this could be Fleck's last year, um, they have had the best three year run in modern program history. He can't beat Iowa or win the West, but he is winning 8-9 games a year consistently. He is loved up there and aint going anywhere unless someone comes and gets him, which I doubt will happen..
As for Nebbie, same team, different coaches and players. Terrible, undisciplined and not physical line. No playmakers. Except for the QB, who can run, but likes to throw it to the other team. Solid defense. Wash rinse and repeat. If they want to get to a bowl game, they better beat Coach Prime in Boulder next week.

I posted after watching the first 2 drives that I thought Minn looked tough. I was still overall impressed w/ their new QB and he appears to have a couple weapons on the outside. The route and athletic ability Jackson showed on the late TD catch was impressive. But I agree, their OL looked atrocious as the game went on. Running game was practically nonexistent. As for Nebraska, well they looked the same. Good running QB that'll have as many int as td passes midway through the season when he finally gets knocked out of a game to an injury. Their D played well last night however i don't put much stock in it because of how bad Minn OL looked.

Love Lil Debbie losing again. Ruhle choked, he should of ran the ball in the 4th. Their QB is a TO waiting to happen. Piss poor play calling. The look on Ruhle's face in the 4th was priceless...cotton mouth, licking his lips and looking for someone to save him. The Solich curse is real and I love it!

He tried to run the ball and the RB fumbled. That fumble turned the game.
The reality is that the offense has 1 playmaker, the QB. He is a big kid, but if they run him on the read options and scrambles too much he is going to get hurt. There are just limited options on offense there.

I thought the young Minny QB had his moments. He looks like he will be a good one. He had good pocket instincts, threw from different angles, and seemed poised. That entire offense is young. They could get more dangerous as the year goes, but they still looked like the 4th best team in the West.
MN's offense in practices and in their scrimmages showed no ability to run the ball vs their own defense, so Fleck knew when it came crunch time they were not going to be able to run it vs Nebraska either...no surprise there.
My takes:
1) the Gopher QB is a good one -- big time arm, good reads, good accuracy, just needs to add some touch on his short passes.
2) Nebraska's defense looked solid. Much more disciplined than recent years. Holding any BTen team to 3 pts ON THE ROAD in a night game until 2 minutes remains is impressive, period.
3) That won't be the only game MN's FG kicker wins for them this year.

Instead they threw the ball a lot, and not very well, but Nebraska continued the tradition of throwing the ball to people on the other team often so it didn't matter.
