6 Wins, Speculation and a 'Measuring Stick' Collide in Nebraska's Trip to Minnesota
Minnesota prepares to face Nebraska's strong defense led by top-ranked pass defense and blitz packages as Nebraska seeks a second straight road win, coaches said.
- On Friday night, Minnesota hosts Nebraska in Minneapolis with kickoff at 7 p.m. CDT and national broadcast on FOX, marking P.J. Fleck's first time preparing against Dylan Raiola.
- Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck said his staff moved immediately to Nebraska prep, using Sunday and Monday practice windows and relying on his MAC experience with short-week preparation.
- Quoting Fleck, `They blitz an awful lot`, Nebraska's Blackshirts mix fronts and varied blitz packages but struggle to stop the run, producing narrow outcomes this season.
- With both teams fresh off one-score wins, P.J. Fleck said Minnesota must start faster to establish the run, while Dylan Raiola seeks his second-straight road win Friday.
- With Nebraska 5-1 and Minnesota holding an 8-2 edge in the last ten meetings, the matchup could affect Big Ten positioning and series history under coaches Matt Rhule and P.J. Fleck.
