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.


Go Gophers!!
