per Joe:
Coach Jerry Kill was so determined to re-establish the Gophers’ power-rushing identity last week, he said, “I don’t care if we throw it one time right now; we’re going to run the football.”
That plan worked at Purdue. But to beat Nebraska this Saturday, the Gophers probably need to hold their breath and unleash the passing game again. Mitch Leidner and the team’s receivers had better be sharp.
The Cornhuskers have the nation’s eighth-best rushing defense (95.3 yards allowed per game), but they’re the worst in the country against the pass (348.5).
“We’ll take what they give us,” Kill said Tuesday. “… If we need to throw it, we’ll throw it.”
