.. Briean Boddy-Calhoun made the defensive play of the game when he ripped the ball out of De'Mornay Pierson-El's hands at the Minnesota 2-yard line with 1:19 left.The Gophers ran out the clock to end a 20-game road losing streak against Top 25 opponents that dated to 2000.

"It just happened so fast," Boddy-Calhoun said. "I'm sticking a guy, and the next thing I know it's in his hands, then it's right there in front of me. The first thing I thought of was, 'Get the ball.' "..


The comeback was Minnesota's biggest in a win since it rallied from 14 down to beat Northwestern in 2003. The Gophers beat the Huskers for the second straight year and won for the first time in eight visits to Lincoln since 1960.

Nebraska has worked the Gophers over, obviously, since the early 60's and have a higher winning percentage than any teams in the Big Ten except for Ohio State and Michigan. All that said, the Gophers now lead the head to head series 31-20-2. (Love to tell those Nebraska fans that tid-bit. They just can't absorb it.)
