LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — At least Mike Riley still has his sense of humor.

With all four of Nebraska’s losses having come on the opponent’s final offensive play, each in the last few seconds or overtime, the Cornhuskers’ first-year coach was asked Monday what he would like to see change the second half of the season. He responded, “a 59-minute game.”

The Huskers (2-4, 0-2 Big Ten) should expect another full 60 minutes of competitive football Saturday at Minnesota (4-2, 1-1). The Gophers have beaten Nebraska two straight years, including 28-24 last season in Lincoln after the Huskers fumbled inside the Minnesota 5-yard line with just over a minute left.
