Writers at Gophers on SI are out with their picks Tony Liebert picks Minnesota to win 49-0 Northwestern State is among the worst Division I football teams in the country. A win over the Gophers would be the biggest in their program's history and probably the worst upset loss in Minnesota's. The...

I like mixing it up, but the all gold look was really good. The full gold with maroon trim and accent looks great across sports. I'd like to see MMG, though, the classic look is always great on a nice fall day. They didn't wear that combo last year. GMG looked good, though

Pioneer Press predicts a 44-3 Minnesota win. Minnesota Offense Vs. Northwestern State Defense: The Gophers put up 443 total yards in the opener, but had only 23 points to show for it after only one of seven drives inside the 25 ended with a touchdown. The U’s most talked-about drive was a...

Dude, for real. I keep forgetting if they're Louisiana or Mississippi.

Northern Illinois Vs. Maryland on Friday could be interesting. I’ll be at the Gophers game Saturday, will have to keep track of the Iowa Vs. Iowa State game to see if the Cyclones win. Afternoon I’m looking forward to Ole Miss Vs. Kentucky, also Kansas Vs. Missouri should be fun as well. MSUM...

Yeah, looking back Scot Loeffler was getting that program on better footing at the time. After 2021 they went to three consecutive bowl games. Obviously the loss was still terrible, but they weren't the worst G5/MAC team in hindsight, relatively speaking.

Interesting seeing the evolution of the Block M.

So, did a bit of digging. Northwestern State's last victory over an FBS team was in 2014, when they defeated Louisiana Tech 30-27. That's also only one of two times in the last 15 years they held an FBS opponent under 40 points. Here's their results Vs. Non-AQ/G5/G6 teams since 2010 2010, Air...

Picks and Parlays predicts a 43-3 victory for Minnesota The Minnesota Golden Gophers won in workmanlike fashion on opening night with a 13-point victory over Buffalo. The Golden Gophers will perform better on Saturday against a less-talented opponent, using the talented passing arm of Drake...

It's the 62-10 win over Western Illinois. Most points scored since 2006. That year they beat Temple 62-0 and Indiana 63-26.

Here's a couple graphs from College Football News on their 55-0 Gophers pick Minnesota has to use this game to open up the scoring punch. There should be a balance, and the starters should get their work in over the first 30 minutes and then sit, but if there aren’t a bajillion points scored...

Indeed I did, had to fix that. They were awful as well.

Holy this is getting ugly.

I've had a soft spot for TCU since they beat Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl, so I'm happy seeing them roll against Belichick.

I agree those two high profile games didn't live up to the hype, but there have been plenty of marquee match ups in the opening weekend over the years that have been plenty entertaining. In 2013, the season opened with a great game between No. 8 Clemson led by Tajh Boyd and No. 5 Georgia led by...
