Minnesota at Nebraska

Nebraska suffered not only a humiliating and deflating loss last week, but an embarrassing one as well. They gave up an NCAA record 408 yards to Melvin Gordon in a loss to Wisconsin. The loss puts their hopes for making it to the Big-10 Championship Game on life support. Minnesota presents a similar issue with running back David Cobb who has rambled for over 1,350 yards on the season. Nebraska QB Tommy Armstrong Jr. is slumping badly as over the past two weeks he is just 14-39 with three INTs and could be the difference in this game. Minnesota QB Mitch Leidner, had a poor game against Ohio State, but threw for 7 TDs to just one INT in the three previous games. Both teams are going to run the ball well here, and I think the difference comes down to who do you trust throwing the ball to be a difference maker? Right now Leidner holds that edge, so take the points on Minnesota.
