Lincoln – Coach Bo Pelini and Nebraska football student-athletes discussed this Saturday’s Senior Day showdown against Minnesota at Memorial Stadium with media members Monday.

Kickoff between the No. 21 Huskers (8-2, 4-2 Big Ten) and the Gophers (7-3, 4-2 Big Ten) is set for 11 a.m., with live national television coverage provided by ESPN.

The Huskers and Gophers are still in the hunt for the Big Ten West Division title, but both teams will be looking to regroup following losses over the weekend. Nebraska will try to bounce back from a 59-24 setback at No. 22 Wisconsin, while Minnesota will attempt to recover from a 31-24 loss to a top-10 Ohio State squad.

The Big Red should have plenty of motivation on Saturday. Not only will the Huskers be looking to avenge last year’s road loss at Minnesota, they also have the chance to send a group of 13 active seniors out with a victory in their final home games at Memorial Stadium.

Nebraska also has a chance to complete a perfect home season in the 340th consecutive sellout at Memorial Stadium. A win would also give the Big Red their seventh consecutive nine-win season under Coach Bo Pelini.
