Nebraska defensive back Joshua Kalu crosses the goal line as he returns an interception 41-yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
When the 2015 season started, Minnesota was considered one of the favorites to win the Big Ten West.
After going 3-1 in the nonconference slate and splitting its first two league games, Minnesota's matchup at home on Saturday against struggling Nebraska was a huge one.
But despite an unexpectedly impressive passing performance from quarterback Mitch Leidner, the Gophers couldn't run the ball or stop the Cornhuskers on defense, ultimately losing in a rout, 48-25.
