Gophers on SI is out with their staff predictions. Tony Liebert sides with Minnesota, 27-20 Athan Kaliakmanis’ return to Huntington Bank Stadium will get all of the headlines, but this week’s matchup is a pivotal game for both Minnesota and Rutgers. Both teams are very comparable, but the...

The Pioneer Press is going with a close Minnesota win, 21-20 Minnesota Offense Vs. Rutgers Defense: Minnesota fans know Knights’ defensive coordinator Robb Smith; P.J. Fleck fired him from the same role in the middle of 2018 season. Smith has reunited with Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano for a...

This is what I'm thinking, too. Shifts probably will continue. I will say, though, I do think the P4 should limit its opponents to G5 and skip over FCS. The benefit just isn't there for the Power 4 team in most cases. A win doesn't advance their position, and a loss is embarrassing. On...

Writers at NJ.Com are siding with Rutgers. Steve Politi predicts a 35-31 Rutgers win. This is the second straight Big Ten game where Rutgers has the best player on the field in Ian Strong and a quarterback — former Minnesota starter Athan Kaliakmanis — who is playing at an elite level. The...

I think despite improvements, media isn't fully sold on Rutgers, plus Gophers are at home.

Sports Grid picks Minnesota in the game Rutgers lost their first game of the season last Friday night and is 0-1 in conference play, while Minnesota had an extra week to prepare (also coming off a loss) for its Big Ten opener. The Gophers have a strong defense and a weak offense, while RU’s...

Certainly seemed like it was time to move on after last year and the start to this one. I'm sure it's bittersweet, and he will likely be honored and celebrated a couple years from now. He's the winningest coach they've had and has a solid resume. All things considered, in a conference with...

The North Jersey Record picks Rutgers, 24-20 Rutgers needs to bounce back from the loss to Iowa. The Scarlet Knights need to avoid an early-season slide, especially with the difficulty of the schedule the second half of the season. This game, and the following game at Washington, are critical. I...

Bateman just hauled in a TD on MNF to help the Ravens tie the game at 14-14.

First predictions are out for the game this week. Picks and Parlays backs Minnesota, 23-17 This game has the feel of a close, lower-scoring Big Ten contest. Rutgers has a more proven offense, but Minnesota’s defense at home creates an advantage in this matchup. The Golden Gophers will win by...

This is probably the best they've looked in a while, although they never fell off too much. Since they won the national title in 2010 they've missed the post season just three times. It would have been just once if the Mineral Water Bowl was still around.

Last week's loss was frustrating and Cal's result yesterday is certainly concerning. However, looking back, I feel there were some key mistakes that can be cleaned up as the season goes on. Scale back Koi to defense, stop the trick play calling that got you in trouble and look for Drake to...

I've been making potato pancakes for Oktoberfest for the last hour. Every time I went into the living room to check the score Indiana scored lol

Notre Dame has long had an iron grip on NBC. I guess last year they were willing to shift to Oregon Vs. Ohio State. Indiana Vs. Illinois doesn't get that treatment, though.

As long as they don't play Californiacation we should be good 😜. Would be cool to hear them play Under the Bridge or Snow.

Not that the West ever looked phenomenal, but I don't think it was ever that bad when compared to the other "lesser" divisions from 2014 through about 2023. The PAC 12 South, SEC East and ACC Coastal also regularly lost to their counterpart in their respective title games. Plus in bowl season...
