Suppose the Nebraska football team has really turned the corner and finally put the last decade of ineptitude in the rearview mirror. In that case, there's no better way to show that than beating Minnesota on Friday night.
The Golden Gophers haven't been world beaters over the last few years. They have absolutely owned the Huskers, however.
Minnesota has won the last five matchups against Nebraska. It holds a significant edge in the historical head-to-head matchup, 37-25. If there is good news for the Huskers, it's that the Gophers are not blowing out NU.
