*** Official Minnesota Game Thread ***

Two of the intriguing (Minnesota native) player story lines of the evening may involve:

• Minnesota's "Mr. Football" 2021, Emmitt Johnson, will be returning home and presumably playing before family and friends (always a motivator). He chose Nebraska and will be one of the Nebraska kickoff returners this evening - and Rhule has said he doesn't like to fair catch.

• The same goes for Omar Brown, from Minneapolis, who has had this game circled on his calendar for a while and is quietly playing with a chip on his shoulder for being overlooked by Minnesota. He's on the depth chart as the Cornhusker starting safety tonight.

 
I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I have goosebumps and am counting down the time to kickoff.  I keep hearing Osborne's echoing statement at halftime on the '95 Orange Bowl.  "No excuses, this time we get it done!"

 
Anybody want to lay odds on which forum member (and how many plays in) will be the first Debbie Downer poster when the game starts?

I think Rhule will play this game as close to the vest as long as possible.  Rhule may open things up if behind by 2 scores in the 2nd half, but I think Rhule is just trying to get the 4th quarter within 1 score, and see what happens in the 4th.

There will probably be mistakes by the players, but I don't think there will be glaring coaching decisions which will make us scratch our head.

That is my dream for this game and I agree, that’s how Rhule is going to play it. 
 

It’s going to be straight up football till maybe in the second half when he might need to gamble to win. 
 

 
Only time the guy married to the chick in white gets action is when she wants it.  And he probably ends up sobbing in the fetal position.
