5. Nov. 27 vs. Minnesota
The Golden Gophers replace Iowa as Nebraska's Black Friday game this season. Tanner Morgan headlines a potent offense with receivers Rashod Bateman (1,219 yards and 11 touchdowns in ‘19) and Chris Autman-Bell (371, 5) returning. Should head coach P.J. Fleck find a reliable target to replace Tyler Johnson's production and big-play ability, Big Ten secondaries will have their hands full yet again.

Minnesota also bid farewell to 1,100-yard rusher Rodney Smith and productive backfield mate Shannon Brooks, but Mohamed Ibrahim (604 yards, 7 TDs) returns and will have the benefit of working with an offensive line that returns all five starters.

Fleck's crew will have to contend with some growing pains on defense as just five starters return including only a pair in the front six of the Gophers' 4-2-5 scheme.


Go Gophers!!
