The $5 Bits of Broken Chair Trophy was up for grabs for the second time Saturday afternoon at Minnesota, with Nebraska taking home the hardware following a resounding 48-25 win.

Saturday, there was an official trophy presentation (see the tweet above), the Huskers celebrated with it in the locker room, and even first-year coach Mike Riley, Pelini's replacement, posed for a picture (see the tweet below).
