In the first half, the offense for the Minnesota Golden Gophers had a huge performance by accounting for three passing touchdowns. Minnesota quarterback Tanner Morgan scored two passing touchdowns and only one incompletion against the defense of Nebraska.

After halftime, Nebraska is starting to find some efficiency on the defensive side of the ball. In the first drive of the second half for Minnesota, Morgan threw a pass to redshirt sophomore Mike Brown-Stephens on a vertical route. Nebraska junior cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt eventually chased down his assigned man and dove for an interception in the end zone.

One drive later, the defense for Nebraska accounted for another interception from Morgan as senior safety Deontai Williams picked off Morgan. After originally allowing Morgan to throw 16 completions, the secondary of Nebraska forced Morgan to throw two interceptions in a row.

Minnesota currently leads 21-16 over Nebraska with five minutes left in the third quarter.
