I don't have his GOY yet, but will by 11 EST, but here is a excerpt from his newsletter this week which may give you a hint on which way he is going with his GOY:
Minnesota actually got rushing touchdowns from five different runners, and the backfield combined for 435 yards on the ground, which is the fourth best in school history. The Gophers got off to a quick start as they scored early in the first quarter on a 22-yard fumble return. Hoosiers QB Graeme McFarland, who was replacing injured Matt LoVecchio, was sacked by strong safety Justin Fraley. Then safety John Pawielski scooped up the ball and ran for the score. Once the Gophers got ahead on the scoreboard, it was all about the ground game, and just about everyone got involved. Maroney was the leading ground gainer for the day, as he racked up 164 yards on 18 attempts. Barber added 107 yards on 17 carries and fullback Thomas Tapeh rushed for 65 yards on 14 attempts and two touchdowns.
Gophers QB Asad Abdul-Khaliq didn't need to do much because of the dominance of the running game. The Big Ten leader in passing efficiency completed 9 of 13 passes for only 66 yards and one touchdown. The signal caller didn't seem to mind as his workhorse runners did all the work.
The Gophers will be home on Saturday against the Wisconsin Badgers and the Axe will go to the victor. Badgers QB Jim Sorgi will be back behind center for this game. Minnesota has been installed as a seven-point favorite. This game, dog or the favorite, could end up at the top of my selection list this weekend. Big Ten Game of the Year? Not only do I love that game in the Big Ten but there are two other games that definitely have caught my interest. I'm sure both of them will end up on our selection card.
