Minnesota Beats Nebraska 24-6; Huskers Face Tests

Minnesota beat No. 25 Nebraska 24-6 in a game the Gophers controlled with a fundamentals-first "free throws" game plan, extending their streak over the Huskers to six straight wins. Minnesota’s balanced attack — Darius Taylor rushed for 148 yards while Drake Lindsey completed 16-of-20 passes — and a relentless defensive effort harassed Nebraska into nine sacks and limited scoring opportunities. Nebraska’s game was marred by poor tackling, missed assignments, protection breakdowns and turnover-prone mistakes that left quarterback Dylan Raiola under constant duress. The loss prompted a tough self-scouting session and highlighted the need to shore up fundamentals, pass protection and in-game decision-making. Nebraska will host more than 20 recruits and the return of official visits this weekend as it readies for its next game at Northwestern.
