Huskers at Home vs. Minnesota – Game Day at The Craftsman – Nov. 5 – Kickoff 9:00 a.m. AZ time
Last week our Huskers got off to a great start and had a 9-6 lead going into halftime. But starting quarterback Casey Thompson took a hard hit in the 2nd quarter that prevented him from returning for the remainder of the game! The 2nd half did not go so well for us and we lost 9-26. 🙁
This week we face another Big Ten West opponent, the Minnesota Gophers (overall record: 5-3, B1g Ten 2-3), who are coming off a 31-0 shutout 31-0 shutout over Rutgers. We have our work cut out for us again!
