Despite an 8-2 record this season Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini is under fire for the Huskers' weak performances in games when they've been ranked. Last week was particularly embarrassing because they blew a 17-point lead to Wisconsin while allowing their star running back Melvin Gordon to break the NCAA single-game rushing record. Gordon trampled Nebraska for 408 yards and four touchdowns.

"I don't want to make an excuse -- because I'm not making an excuse; what happened happened -- but sometimes our guys put so much pressure on themselves to win that they're not playing to win, they're playing not to lose," Pelini said. "That's a bad recipe."

"The thing that was very disappointing was when it got to the second level, plays that in my opinion should have been an 8- or 20-yard gain ended up being 40 or 50," Pelini said.

They could be in for another rough week with Minnesota's run-heavy attack entering their building. The Gophers suffered a tough loss last week to Ohio State but remain in contention for a Big Ten title. "Who knows what's going to happen? Everybody's got to play each other," coach Jerry Kill said. "I wish I had a crystal ball, but I know we control our own destiny."
