Game Story

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A bucket of sports drink having been just poured over his head,
Scott Frost wrapped up a quick television interview near midfield and started sprinting
off the field at Memorial Stadium.

Moments after the clock hit zeroes on a 53-28 victory over Minnesota Saturday, it was
time for him to soak it all in. As he ran through the end zone and entered the tunnel,
Frost took off his cap and held it high to thank the fans who had waited seven games
for the native son who won so many times as a player on this field to pick up his first
win as coach.

“I just didn’t expect it to be in October,” Frost said. “But we’ve got as good a fans as
there are in the country. They’re loyal. They’re supportive. Our kids appreciate it them.
They’re fighting hard for them. Yeah, I almost teared up running off the field. That was
a special moment.”

A week after squandering a late 10-point lead at Northwestern and losing in overtime,
the Huskers (1-6, 1-4 Big Ten) scored on three of their first four possessions on their
way to a 28-0 lead.

Minnesota (3-4, 0-4) made things interesting, though, scoring on three possessions in
a row spanning the halves, with backup quarterback Tanner Morgan replacing Zack
Annexstad to open the third quarter and leading two straight touchdown drives to pull
the Gophers to 28-22.

Barrett Pickering kicked a field goal between Adrian Martinez’s TD passes of 35 and 67
yards to Stanley Morgan Jr. to break things open again, and as the 365th consecutive
sellout crowd started sensing the end of the program-record 10-game losing streak,
a chorus of “Go Big Red” chants began.

Nebraska rushed for 383 yards and totaled 659. Devine Ozigbo ran for 152 yards,
Martinez for 125 and Maurice Washington for 109.

Martinez completed 25 of 29 passes adding up to 276 yards and three TDs. Morgan Jr.
caught 10 balls for 163 yards, both career highs.

Tanner Morgan was 11 of 16 for 214 yards and Annexstad 9 of 20 for 135. Gophers
coach P.J. Fleck said Annextad had to leave the game because of an internal injury in
his midsection. He was taken to a hospital for treatment.

“Congratulations to Coach Frost,” Fleck said. “It’s a big deal, everybody remembers your
first. This team should be 5-1 or 4-2. We didn’t stop them tonight at all. We didn’t tackle
well. We didn’t set an edge.”
