Minnesota Football: RoWING to Nebraska - Opponent Preview

With the $5 Bits of Broken Chair Trophy on the line, the Minnesota Golden Gophers (3-2) host the Nebraska Cornhuskers (3-4) on Saturday at 11 a.m. at Huntington Bank Stadium.

Can Nebraska score on offense?

Nebraska’s offense is the antithesis of Minnesota’s offense. It relies on creative play-calling that keeps opposing defenses on their heels through misdirection and by breaking tendencies, and much of their success rests on the shoulders of their quarterback. Everything goes through Adrian Martinez, for better and for worse. He is their leading passer — 118-of-178 (66.3%) for 1,754 passing yards and nine touchdowns — and their leading rusher — 88 rushing attempts for 450 yards and 10 touchdowns.
