Here’s how to watch Saturday’s critical Big Ten West match-up between the No. 19 Nebraska Cornhuskers and Minnesota Golden Gophers online.

The No. 19 Nebraska Cornhuskers will try to bounce back from a pair of crushing losses when they host the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Saturday night in a game with important implications in the Big Ten West race.

Three weeks ago, Nebraska was right in the thick of the playoff race at 7-0. Since then, the Cornhuskers lost an overtime heartbreaker to Wisconsin before being obliterated 62-3 by Ohio State last Saturday.

Ohio State game aside, the Cornhuskers have been playing well on the defensive end with 23.2 points allowed per contest. Nebraska has racked up 15 interceptions on the season, including four apiece for Nathan Gerry and Keyan Williams.

The big concern for the Cornhuskers on Saturday will be quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr., who was taken to the hospital on Saturday after hitting his head on the field. Armstong Jr. later returned to the field, although he did not play, and is officially questionable to start over backup Ryker Fyfe.

Minnesota is quietly sitting at 7-2 under Tracy Claeys, who has done an excellent job since taking over for Jerry Kill last October. The Golden Gophers have won four straight after narrowly losing games to Penn State and Iowa to begin conference play.

While Claeys expected to have a sound defense, the Minnesota offense has been better than expected despite the struggles of quarterback Mitch Leidner. Sophomore running back Rodney Smith has enjoyed a productive season with 177 rushes for 954 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Both teams are tied atop the Big Ten West along with Wisconsin at 4-2, although the Badgers have the tiebreaker over Nebraska and host Minnesota later on. Should Wisconsin slip up, the winner of Saturday’s game could be in position to take advantage.
