Minnie is too 1-dimensional to provide a constructive test of anything but run defense.
Northwestern on the other hand runs a spread -- which sounds awfully like a team we all know and love.
But our beloved team will likely run that offense more effectively.

Counting the muffed punt we had 3 turnovers last week with 3 more fumbles that we got back. JT better be focusing on ball security this week in practice.

I was wondering if an XM receiver would work on an airplane... but then it sucks that I am on a Continental flight eh?
Oh well, if I rush around the airport fast enough I can maybe see the last part of the 4th quarter. I still wish I could have gotten into Vegas fast enough to put a bet down on the game. |

This is one of those games that always worries me.....a night game in BEAVER stadium....is very intimidating. That place is going to be rocking. Outside of the Shoe, its the loudest stadium ive ever been to. I hope we come out strong and prepared and not flat.

Besides the 'Shoe, i've been to scUM, PSU, Purdue, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Northwestern, and Wisconsin plus many MAC schools and the Meadowlands and the Sugar Bowl. Besides the 'Shoe, Happy Valley is the loudest stadium in my experience. Definitely the 2nd hardest place to play in the Big 10.
