Yeah, alternate topic is "Is Sparty that bad?"Don't try to make sense of things that don't make sense. Have you checked in on the Sparty/Ohio State game?
College kids are usually inconsistent...
Minnesota has always had a good running back or two, combined with some razzle dazzle. I don't think that will work against NU's defense this year.or is Nebraska mailing it in? They could be a big threat next week.

MN did essentially the same to Or. State. I guess they own Mike Riley teams.
Which?
Yeah - and, in 45 minutes, "Iowa...?"Yeah, alternate topic is "Is Sparty that bad?"
Minnesota is not that good. Nebraska’s defense has played god awful.

Looks like it was all QB run, Neb didn’t defend Croft at all. Not sure if designed runs or scrambles. He barely passed. The offense Was mostly Croft running, kind of like our Kafka game against them several years ago.
Also what happened to Tanner Lee. Backup came in and got sacked several times.
I think we match up with them much better. We have good run defense. They don’t pass very much.
Minnesota can't pass. So if we stop the run, we should win. Nebraska didn't, and they lost.

I have no idea how a team can be so unprepared to stop a basic play. Minny spread out the field and Croft had to beat a poor tackling LB. Awful is an understatement.Awful tackling + awful assignment football = god awful defense.
Nebraska gave up 409 yards rushing today. NU gave up 40.
We will be fine.
I watched some of the Minnesota game highlights. Nebraska was just awful. Brutal tackling, missed assignments and just getting blown off the ball. In all the highlights, I did not see Croft throw the ball once. I highly doubt Minnesota will be able to come to Ryan Field and run the ball on us like that. If Croft is unable to threaten with his arm, It will be a long day for the Gophers.
My guess - didn't watch much of the game - is that Nebraska's D mentally wasn't prepared. Their defensive coordinator - Bob Diaco - really caught a ton of heat for his post game interview the previous week. The guy is different and he has caught criticism both at Nebraska and his previous stop - head coach at Connecticut - for his "cerebral" interviews. With Mike Riley pretty much gone I don't think Diaco's act is working any longer with his players. When I have time today I will catch up on the Nebraska blogs. They are vicious.
Sounds like a former basketball coach here at NU....
Gophers have a row boat, 'Cats have a sailboat.I hope your team is underestimating us as much as you guys are. This will be Croft's 4th or 5th actual start at QB. He and this team had continued to improve. Gophers will win this one.
