Minnesota 14, Nebraska 41

Gopher lose again, this time to Nebraska 41-14.  The Gophers drop to 1-5 on the season, a 1-11 season seems to be within reach (I guess there's only room for improvement from there though isn't there?).  They were completely outmanned once again, the difference in speed in athleticism between the 2 teams was quite noticeable.  If there was any positives about today, it was that they actually showed some heart, you could see them competing and fighting down to the very end.

Observations:
-Nebraska total yards 508, Minnesota total yards 254.  Enough said? 
-The Gophers passing attack need a lot of work.  Lots of drops and lots of over-throws.
-Gophers WIN the 2nd half!!!  14-7.  Of course Nebraska had called off the wolves.
-Some real questionable officiating in this game.
-Taylor Martinez has an awful throwing motion.
-When did Nebraska go to a no-huddle offense?  
-Rex Burkhead is not someone you want to arm tackle.  
-Dan Orseske needs to get a lot more consistent with his punting. 
-ESPN did a nice feature on Jerry Kill today. 
-Up next is Iowa @ TCF Stadium in Minneapolis, MN.
