    Has more to do with the commitment NBC has with Notre Dame. That always seems to get the network's attention above all else. The problem is NBC doesn't really have an "overflow" option for additional games like others do. FOX can play multiple games in primetime thanks to FS1, CBS can do it with...

    POST GAME THREAD: GOPHERS DOMINATE HUSKERS!! WIN 6TH STRAIGHT VS NEBRASKA!!!!

    So I caught the first five minutes of the game at an airport before being on a flight and missed the rest of the game. Wished I didn't, because it looks like it was a fun one to watch. Was on Sun Country so no TV to watch or score apps to check. Had to wait for the plane to land, had my...

    15 years ago today, Tim Brewster was fired.

    Him being a Big Ten head coach really should never have happened considering his career up until that point. I never really faulted him, though, for mainly speaking up the program and the potential of what could be. I know many have since referred to him as a snake oil salesman for the bill of...

    Minnesota Vs. Nebraska 2025 - Chair Week - Media Predictions

    Winners and Whiners is picking Nebraska to win Although Minnesota is undefeated at home, this is a tough matchup for the Gophers. Minnesota ranks 126th nationally, averaging just 3.0 yards per carry, which will put a lot of pressure on freshman quarterback Drake Lindsey. The problem for...

    Odds are pretty good for it. Since 1999 there have only been two MAC opponents and that was in the 5-7 seasons. The rest have all been AQ/P5/P4.

    PicksWise has Nebraska coming out with the win We are far enough into the season that some of the cumulative stats are starting to be meaningful. The Cornhuskers have the #1 passing defense in the nation, allowing only 118 yards per game. They are middle of the road against the run, but...

    Big Al’s Sports Picks predicts a 24-20 Nebraska win Minnesota is off a 27-20 win over Purdue and they didn't look great in that one, but they got the win at home and they have had a pretty good defense this season. They are also 4-0 in their home games this year so they have played better at...

    Curt Cignetti

    It really is remarkable what he's pulled off this quick. It's one thing to have fast success at a Blue Blood or even a rung below like a Penn State, Tennessee or LSU. Plus, there are so many programs that pour tons of money into the programs like Texas A&M. Indiana isn't one of those programs...

    Totally fair. For Penn State that doesn't cut it. But at a lot of other programs (like Minnesota), that would be remarkable success.

    Seeing Cignetti and Rhule get brought up makes me wonder how many times a coach has gone to another school directly in the same conference. Happened a couple times in the SEC. Tommy Tubberville went from Ole Miss to Auburn, and Houston Nutt went from Arkansas to Ole Miss. Plus in basketball...

    Improving the Run

    So, clearly, the rushing attack hasn't been great the last few games. While it seemed fine early in the year against the first couple overmatched opponents, it has certainly dropped off. Here's the total rushing stats and lead rusher from each game so far in the season. Vs. Buffalo. Team...
