the Gopher off week concerns me a bit

Frost has been outcoached by the Gopher staff in the past

but, I will say, I don't think the Sooners or Spartans, or Wolverines outcoached Frost this season - perhaps some improvement

I admit I have not seen a lot of Nebraska's plays this season, but I was left with the impression that Nebraska's special teams were badly coached in its early games this year.

  Especially that MSU  punt return Neb gave up for a TD late in 4Q.  I don'tt remember seeing any Neb coverage guys within 20 yards of MSU returner.  Maybe Neb has fixed their issues since then I just vaguely recall special teams being a problem.

MSU return was a case of poor execution by the punter.

Play called for a directional kick to the right side, punter pulled it far left.

but there's got to be someone responsible for calling the jacked punt and alerting the coverage

special team were much better vs Northwestern and Michigan, hopefully the trend continues

>> Nebraska will be playing its eighth game while Minnesota will be playing its sixth and coming off a bye week. Instead of making a fuss about the schedule, Dawson said it’s all about how you look at the situation. He said the Huskers have an advantage with two more games under their belt and more experience.

totally agree which is why I would not bet on this game either way
two weeks to prepare can either hurt or help and really the OC has done nothing to impress anyone.
if the bye week produces anything upon self reflection then we can come out and play with the best teams
if the bye week is not productive then we could get blown out
I'm not a gambler but if I were I wouldn't touch this game.  There are just too many things I can't figure out like:
  • Is Minnesota the good looking team that they have been against their three P5 opponents or the AWFUL looking team that they have been against their two MAC opponents?  
  • Has Nebraska improved by leaps and bounds from the AWFUL looking team that lost to Illinois in week zero or are they only good enough to lose closely?  Their last four games were a blowout win over NU and three one-score losses to (now) top-10 teams.

This game is HUGE for both teams' bowl hopes.  

First Nebraska:
Due to their tough schedule and head-scratching early loss to Illinois the Cornhuskers are 3-4 and will have to go at least 3-2 in their last five to make a bowl.  If they can beat Minnesota (in Minneapolis this weekend) and Purdue (at home next game, Halloween weekend) then they'll just need one upset in their last three games (vstOSU, @UW, vsIA) to go bowling.  That seems possible but if they drop one of these next two then they'd need to go 2-1 against tOSU/UW/IA and I just don't see that happening.  

Minnesota:
The Gophers appear to be in much better shape at 3-2.  They "only" need to go 3-4 in their last seven to make a bowl and they do have the B1G's two worst teams (the ones from Illinois) left on the schedule.  That said, these Gophers are capable of playing just flat awful football.  They barely beat Miami, OH and lost to a BGSU squad that is 2-4 overall and 0-2 in the MAC.

Fleck just has both Frost and Brohm's number.  Now if he'd just stop losing to Iowa and Wisconsin.

Frost was also asked about Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck's comments that the Gopher 30-23 win over the Huskers was an example of "culture over skill."

To that, the Husker coach said, "I don't make it a habit of listening to those press conferences. Our culture has come 100 miles. I love where our culture is too. I think they have some skilled players too, so I'm surprised to hear it."
