Here are the Offensive/Defensive Players of the Week from Nebraska’s loss to Minnesota

The Nebraska Cornhuskers lost to the Minnesota Golden Gophers 13-20 on Saturday. It marked the third straight loss for Nebraska. Without quarterback Casey Thompson, the offense struggled to consistently move the football. The Cornhuskers scored three total points over the final three quarters.

Meanwhile, it marked the second consecutive victory for Minnesota, who is trying to remain competitive in the Big Ten West. Minnesota is now one of four teams in the West division with a 3-3 conference record (Iowa, Purdue, Wisconsin). Illinois still leads the pack with a 4-2 conference record.

Nebraska vs. Minnesota: Stream, injury report, broadcast info for Saturday

The Nebraska Cornhuskers will take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Saturday. The Cornhuskers are looking to end a two-game losing streak. Of course, the biggest question is the status of quarterback Casey Thompson. Thompson exited last week’s game against Illinois with an arm injury, and he is expected to be a gametime decision.

Without Thompson, Nebraska’s offense sputtered against Illinois scoring zero points in the second half. If Thompson is inactive, Chubba Purdy and Logan Smothers should fill in at quarterback.
