Jordan Nubin over 200 yards, and he came into the season as the RB5. Minnesota Moving Company doing their part, too.
Nubin TD again and balance on offense that would give Mike Zimmer the chills, 24-12 Minnesota https://t.co/4g7IvjMfpw

Chris Autman-Bell. What a crack block. He sets the edge and Jordan Nubin is untouched into the end zone off the right side. #Gophers take a two-score lead, 17-6. 12:07 to go.
Outside zone and Jordan Nubin. His 30th (!!) carry of the game puts Minnesota in the red zone.

Gophers fans expressing their displeasure with that run play on third down and now the decision to attempt a field goal.
Tommi Hill picks it off. โ @hilltommi13 x @HuskerFootball ๐บ: FS1/@CFBONFOX https://t.co/3oGrxRU4ol
