WATCH: Minnesota’s Chris Autman-Bell takes screen play 69 yards, sets up TD
Published:
Nebraska’s 2018 season has been a disaster to this point.
The game on Saturday, however, featuring Nebraska-Minnesota has been anything but a disaster for the Cornhuskers. Nebraska led 28-0 at one point in the second quarter and to open up the second half, led 28-8.
Now, it’s 28-15.
Minnesota drew up a screen play early in the third quarter and Chris Autman-Bell took it 69 yards, setting up a Golden Gophers TD. The score brought the game to just a 13-point differential with over 28 minutes remaining:

We’ve certainly seen Nebraska give up leads before. In particular, just last week against Northwestern, the Cornhuskers led by 10 with under 3 minutes remaining.
A 28-point comeback would be somewhat of an odd cherry on top of it all if Minnesota could pull it off.
