I will be there and it's going to suck bigggg time. Minnesota is a poor mans sparta to me. Physical and well coached defense with a good running game. The difference is we should be able to go all out on their running game because the weather and the talent at WR for the gophers will allow for it

Could well be a trap game, Minnesota is a very talented and well coached team. They should be a 1 loss team if not for a fluke against Illinois. Leidner is a tough QB that an get hot, Cobb is one of the best backs in college football, very good TE, and a good OL. Their defense is also very good defense (#21 overall). But I doubt Urban lets our focus wane...he will have us ready to play.

As much as I think Minnesota has a fine team, we better dominate them to keep climbing. And I think we will...I would take us 20+ in this game, I just don't see the momentum slowing down. Either way, don't be shocked if they hang around in this game.

They're extremely one dimensional. If we give up massive rushing yards 190+ then color me concerned for Nebraska (especially Wisconsin) in the championship game if we get there.

My bold prediction is they'll put in a better defensive performance than MSU. Just a lot worse offensively

I have watched a lot of the Gophers because of Jerry Kill. He seems like a fine man and good coach. His staff and players have rallied around him, BUT...I am concerned about this one.
We have just finished playing one of our finest games ever, against Mich. ST, and how do you bring Ohio State back down to "reality' again and get them ready in JUST 6 DAYS. I sure hope we can find a better way for our special teams to perform better. We have come too far from our earlier games, to let this game get away from us. I hope we are UP to the task at hand. "GO BUCKS"
