I am playing a season with Minnesota and of course don't have the greatest record. It's the Gophers for flip sake. Anyhow, so I roll into Memorial with a 6-4 record and coming off a string where I had dropped three of the previous four decisions. Nebraska was 8-2, including a win over Michigan. The Huskers owned me in about every way. But the game was tied at 3-3 at half because Jamal Turner fumbled when sprinting toward the end zone. Nebraska would have led 10-0, but I got the ball, went on a short late second quarter drive and tied it. Again, through the third and fourth quarter, Nebraska moved the ball at will, but was foiled by negative plays until a march deep into Minnesota territory seemed cerain to produce points. Martinez fumbled. And Minnesota got a big play on offense. The Gophers took the lead on a broken play where the quarterback scrambled, got to the sideline and slipped up the boundry for a score while the Huskers missed tackle after tackle. Nebraska had enough time and time outs to engineer a drive on the ground, but chose to go to the air, got behind the sticks and failed on a fourth-and-11 pass. The whole thing seemed like something that could play out on any given week for the actual Huskers. I guess art (video games) really does immitate life (actual football).
