LINCOLN, Neb. -- That embarrassing 59-point loss at Ohio State last week wont soon be forgotten by Nebraska.You dont exactly flush it, coach Mike Riley said. Its not that easy.But with a streaking Minnesota (7-2, 4-2 Big Ten) coming to Memorial Stadium on Saturday night, its time for the No. 21 Cornhuskers (7-2, 4-2) to move on.There is a lot more football out there, a lot more opportunity for us, receiver Jordan Westerkamp said. Like I said after the game, we are 7-2 and thats great. We want to continue to strive to be perfect, obviously.The Huskers 62-3 loss in Columbus was their second in a row, and now they need help to make it to the Big Ten championship game for the first time since 2012. They must win their last three regular-season games and have Wisconsin lose once.Still unknown early Friday was the status of Nebraska quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr., who was knocked unconscious in the second quarter against Ohio State. Armstrong has been going through a concussion protocol this week. If he cant play, senior Ryker Fyfe will make his first start of the season and second of his career.Minnesota, which hasnt been a conference championship since sharing the Big Ten title in 1967, will win the West Division if it wins out against the Huskers, Northwestern and Wisconsin.The Gophers will be going for its first five-game Big Ten win streak since 1962. Nebraska won 48-25 in Minneapolis last year, but Minnesota came from 10 points down in the third quarter to win 28-24 in Lincoln in 2014 .Gophers quarterback Mitch Leidner said he doubts Nebraska will let one bad night in Columbus define its season.Theyll be hungry, itching to get back out on the field, so we definitely have to be ready to go, Leidner said. You cant compare scores or anything like that, and weve learned that a couple times this year. Every teams going to be ready to go on Saturday, so youve really got to respect the process.Some things to watch:PASSING STRUGGLESNebraskas Armstrong and Fyfe have combined to complete just 39.7 percent of their passes with two TDs and seven interceptions over the last four games. The Huskers have been running for 135 yards a game over that span Thats 100 off their average in the first five games.When were running the ball somewhat effectively, the passing game gets easier, particularly with a quarterback of our style, Riley said. All of a sudden play-action becomes a little cleaner. But we have struggled when we have passed, not only with the execution of the play, but also the protection of the passer.NIGHT TIMES RIGHT TIMENebraska has won 18 straight nights games at home. Missouri, in 2008, was the last team to beat the Huskers under the lights in Lincoln.THE TAKEAWAYMinnesota leads the Big Ten and ranks third in the FBS with a plus-12 turnover margin. The Gophers have scored 90 points off turnovers and allowed only 23, after getting outscored in that category last season 72-37. The takeaways can be traced to the push by defensive coordinator Jay Sawvel for a strong pass rush and a fast, swarming approach.FAMILIAR FOESNebraska joined the Big Ten only five years ago, but this will be its 57th meeting with Minnesota. Its the most for the Huskers against any conference opponent. The Gophers lead the series 31-23-2.THE BULLSEYESix Minnesota players have been ejected for targeting this season. Linebacker Nick Rallis was the latest to get tossed for head-to-head contact last week against Purdue. Rallis must sit out the first half at Nebraska to complete the punishment.Some of the hits have been clear, but the Gophers have disputed others, including the one by Rallis last week. Replays appeared to show Rallis made clean contact with his shoulder. Coach Tracy Claeys has acknowledged frustration with the implementation and interpretation of the rule. The automatic ejections that carry over into the next game, depending on the half, and some of the hits that could be deemed unavoidable are parts of the rule hed like to see re-evaluated.---AP Sports Writer Dave Campbell in Minneapolis contributed to this report.---More AP college football at http://collegefootball.ap.org Cheap Hydro Flask Sale .

Discount Hydro Flask . -- Team after team passed on Andre Ellington in the draft. GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers functioned just fine after he strained his right calf muscle early in last Sundays win over the Seattle Seahawks, and the Green Bay Packers ailing quarterback expects hell do the same this Sunday in Chicago against the Bears.But he also knows hell do it with some discomfort.Itll be about pain management on Sunday, but the good thing is Ill be out there, Rodgers said. Ill be out there and ready.Rodgers did not practice on Wednesday, marking the first time this season hes been held out of an entire practice. The previous two weeks, he had been limited but still took some reps each day despite a left hamstring injury that dates to the Nov. 28 game at Philadelphia. This time, he was a full DNP on the injury report.Ive dealt with a lot of injuries over the years, and you just learn about pain management and how to keep yourself in the best shape to play on Sunday, and then playing with pain, Rodgers said. Obviously, I hurt it on the third play of the game and had to gut it out through some very difficult pain speaking to me at times and obviously slowing me down with some of the stuff Im good at moving in the pocket or outside the pocket.Rodgers strained the calf muscle on his other leg late in the 2014 season but did not miss any starts then, either.dddddddddddd Coach Mike McCarthy said earlier on Wednesday that Rodgers told him not to hold anything out of this weeks game plan.But that doesnt mean Rodgers will be able to handle all the movement that he normally would on scrambles and designed roll-out plays. Im very optimistic by nature, Rodgers said. So we can always take things out. Its harder to add things back in. So get everything in, and if theres anything weve got to take out on Sunday, well do that.McCarthy said Rodgers may not practice on Thursday, either, and given that the team doesnt practice on Fridays during a normal week, the only other chance Rodgers would get to be on the field before kickoff would come during Saturdays short practice.It gives you more time to watch film, because youre in there doing rehab on your lower extremities, Rodgers said. Last week with the hamstring and this week with the calf, you get a little more extra time on the film. So you use your time as wisely as possible, but Im here a lot anyway. ' ' '
