Nebraska continues its march toward the Big Ten Championship Game against Minnesota on Saturday.
Gregory Shamus
The Cornhuskers control their own destiny in the Big Ten Legends Division. At 5-1, they're tied atop the standings with the Michigan Wolverines, but the 'Huskers own the head-to-head advantage by virtue of a 23-9 victory over the Wolverines on Oct. 27. As such, a win over the Gophers on Saturday and a victory over Iowa next weekend will clinch the division title for Nebraska, ensuring the 'Huskers of a spot in the conference championship game on Dec. 1 in Indianapolis.
Although the Gophers have stumbled to a 2-4 record in conference play, they still have something of their own to play for. After clinching bowl eligibility with a 17-3 victory over Illinois last week, the Gophers now have a shot at ensuring a winning season with a win over Nebraska this week or a victory over Michigan State in the regular-season finale.
Game time, TV channel: 3:30 p.m. ET, Big Ten Network
