per Penn Live:
This was a game between a pair of unbeaten teams, neither of which we knew whether to quite take seriously. Well, we know of one now we need to take more seriously.
After one quarter of watching the Minnesota Golden Gophers in perhaps the biggest game they’ve played since the age of single-bar facemasks and cheerleaders in maxi-skirts, you knew they were absolutely ready to play in every way – physically, emotionally and schematically.
They had a plan that made a lot of sense, clearly crafted with both their attributes and liabilities in mind. They weren’t allowing a generational moment for their program and perhaps the most fervid crowd in Minnesota football history to jack them full of too much adrenaline.
Perhaps most important, their best players were playing at their best. And that’s pretty damn good.
Sum all the columns and it’s like this: Minnesota and Penn State both had two weeks to get ready for this game. One was as ready as any in the history of its program. The other seemed to allow larger aspirations to creep into their prep.
Now, the one that took care of business needs to be taken very seriously.
