Per Chip:
Sometimes football calculus isn’t difficult to decipher. When one team wins the matchup along the line of scrimmage in a thorough and convincing manner, the rest is just conversation.
The Gophers beat up the favored Nebraska Cornhuskers on Friday night. That is the headline to a final score, 24-6, that reflected what took place on the field at Huntington Bank Stadium.
Football, in its essence, is won in the trenches, and the Gophers scored a knockout in that area to extend their winning streak against the Cornhuskers to six games.
The defense collected nine sacks.
The offense put together a masterful 14-play, 98-yard touchdown drive.
The Gophers held a 186-36 advantage in rushing yards.
They limited a Nebraska offense that was averaging 41 points to two field goals.

The defensive line disrupted Nebraska’s offense with nine sacks, and the offensive line cleared the way for Darius Taylor and protected Drake Lindsey.
Go Gophers!!
