Years past Minnesota games have never been as important as the one we are going to play this week. Why? Well we have a bye week preceding before a two week stretch against Indiana and Purdue. Count those games up and we could be 7-2 going into the Wisconsin game.
The last three games are Wisconsin, Maryland, and Iowa(sucks). Could Nebraska get to 9 wins this year?! Not without beating Minnesota. Going from 4-8 to 9-3 would be a clear indication of trending upward, all the while slowly and quietly building a great recruiting class, which is looking to finish in the top 20. We have a ton of talent on the 2019 class getting experience this year with potential to pull in some more top level talent in this 2020 class.
All this momentum can be immediately interrupted by losing this upcoming game against the Gophers. Let’s just win baby!

Nebraska May Have Finally Found Their Fourth Quarter Tradition with The Killigans’ “Cornhusker”
The break between the third and fourth quarters of Nebraska football games have been a bit of a hole in the traditions of Husker football. In years past, the Cornhusker Marching Band had played “Hey Baby”...which wasn’t bad, but wasn’t keeping up with some of the other cool traditions at other places, such as jumping around at Wisconsin.

Report Card: Huskers 13, Northwestern Wildcats 10
I expected better out of Nebraska’s offense, and to a lesser extent, the defense as well. I thought this would be the week that the offense would play better. On one very critical measure, they did: NO TURNOVERS! But only 319 total yards? Not very impressive, though it’s important to note that Northwestern is averaging under 300 yards per game in total defense in conference play.
