Minnesota Football: RoWINg to Nebraska - Opponent Preview

We’re back!

The Minnesota Golden Gophers will open the 2023 season with a visit from the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Thursday, Aug. 31, at 7 p.m. at Huntington Bank Stadium. It will be the inaugural game of the Matt Rhule era at Nebraska, meaning there will no doubt be a healthy amount of red among the Gopher fans participating in Thursday night’s “Gold Out.”

Can Nebraska score on offense?

Under Rhule and new offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield, expect Nebraska to resemble a more traditional Big Ten offense. In other words, they want to be able to win in the trenches and run the football.
