Head coach Matt Rhule and the 25th-ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers look to win their third game in a row when they battle the Minnesota Golden Gophers in a key Big Ten matchup on Friday night. Nebraska is coming off a 34-31 win at Maryland, while Minnesota rallied to defeat Purdue 27-20 last week. The Cornhuskers (5-1, 2-1 Big Ten), who are looking for their best conference finish since 2016, are 1-0 on the road this season. The Golden Gophers (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten), who are tied with Nebraska for fourth in the conference, are 4-0 on their home field this year. Rhule announced that cornerback Malcolm Hartzog Jr., who has been dealing with an undisclosed injury, will miss this game.
Kickoff from Huntington Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minn., is at 8 p.m. ET. Minnesota leads the all-time series
