per Megan:

A group text went around in the Gophers defensive line’s group chat this week, setting the tone for Nebraska on Saturday after a standout game against Illinois.

“ ‘Hey, we’re going to practice even harder than we did last week,’ ” rush end Carter Coughlin said of the message. “ ‘Scouts, make sure that that happens.’ ”

Minnesota’s defense held the Illini offense to just three points last Saturday, though coach P.J. Fleck actually credited the unit with a shutout, since he took responsibility for an ill-fated timeout to ice the kicker on a first-half field goal. After failing to wrap up tackles against Purdue in the Big Ten opener and struggling as a whole most of last year, the Gophers showed their capabilities under defensive coordinator Joe Rossi.

And Coughlin said to expect an even better game this weekend.
