Early pick Minn-2 at PSU
- Thread starter aldabra
- Start date
This ain't U La La. Minny gets the out of conference wins so that they can get to the bowl. But then they get waxed in their Big 10 opener. 4 of their last 5. Only win as a fav at N'Western
I might be biased, but really believe Minny is going to dominate PSU this week. This is an experienced team that has had no trouble in a suspect preseason.
However, several things going for MN.
1. The best Running game in the Big 10. Minny trots out 4 Running Backs who would be starters anywhere in the country. All are interchangable and all have their strengths.
2. Four confidence building wins. Granted, they played teams only slightly better than the Little Sisters of the Poor, but they completely demolished those squads. This team believes it will win.
3. Recent wins in Happy Valley. The seniors and juniors on this Gopher squad remeber winning as ahuge dog the last time these teams played in Happy Valley. There will be no fear factor.
4. The Sad PSU offense. While Minny has has some difficulties on the defensive side of the ball, Penn State's offense has been terrible. I can't see them scoring more than 17 against MN.
I say Final score
MN 35
PSU 17
Minny -2 a BIG play this weekend for me. ( I almost never play my home teams due to my bias).
