GAME BREAKDOWN
KEY MATCHUP: The quarterback battle. Minnesota’s Zach Annextad and Nebraska’s Adrian Martinez are both true freshmen. The Cornhuskers are in dire need of a win after losing all six of their games this season. Both defenses are ranked in the bottom half of the conference in most key categories, so limiting turnovers is a factor to watch with both quarterbacks.
DRAFT SLANT
–WR Tyler Johnson had a big effort in the loss to Ohio State. He tallied eight receptions for 119 yards to raise his season numbers to 36 catches for 521 yards and six touchdowns.
ROSTER REPORT:
–CB Terell Smith is uncertain for Saturday’s game at Nebraska.
–DT O.J. Smith is questionable to play against Nebraska after missing the Ohio State game with a head injury.
