The Golden Gophers piled up 322 yards on the ground against Nebraska last Saturday to the tune of 6.6 yards/carry. An obscene amount of those yards came after contact. Not just a Husker getting a hand on the ball carrier, no. This was several Huskers being there to make the stop and still getting shoved backwards until the pile either tripped the ball carrier or it let him go.

In 2018, we saw a team regroup and get its crap together in the second half of the season. Scott Frost has a bye week at the right time - or the wrong one, depending on how the team responds to the message Minnesota sent.
