This is not that same defense. Injuries have made them a shell of what they were that game.That was the most points scored against Minnesota this year too. The Gophers played #3 TCU earlier this year, which coincidentally has the #3 ranked scoring offense in the country. TCU scored 23 points on them.
Exactly, due to injuries we had 20 walk-ons on the 85 suiting up for the game.Injuries are a part of football. Nebraska has them too. If Nebraska doesn't get to make any "excuses" when they lose a close game like every single one of their losses has been, then Minnesota doesn't get "excuses" from Husker fans as to why Nebraska went into Minnesota and put a beat down on them.
Not only that but we suited up 20 something defensive players yesterday. That's scary thin.Exactly, due to injuries we had 20 walk-ons on the 85 suiting up for the game.Injuries are a part of football. Nebraska has them too.

It was beautiful wasn't it. That kind of drive breaks the opponents will.Shows what we are capable of when we can fire on all cylinders. The 99 yard drive was a thing of beauty. Still a lot of work to do, Go Big Red!
