Going to be a lot of Buckeye picks this week but here we go. Gophers On SI is predicting a 41-13 Ohio State win The Gophers rank fifth in the entire country with only 65.5 rushing yards allowed per game. It's easier said than done, but the easiest way to keep this one competitive would be...

Rankings are out for DII and DIII after the weekend's games. D2 Media Poll Ferris State (MI), 4-0 Harding (AR), 4-0 Kutztown (PA), 4-0 West Florida, 4-0 Western Colorado, 4-0 Angelo State (TX), 4-0 Texas Permian Basin, 4-0 Pittsburg State (KS), 3-2 Minnesota Duluth, 5-0 Minnesota...

That 2014 game, even though the Gophers lost, just showed the physicality of the team. Not that they didn't also prove it against Nebraska, Michigan and Iowa. But to put up that fight and make life difficult for the eventual National Champion was impressive. I remember Urban Meyer had this...

Flashback to the UM Crookston gaffe

There's actually a high school in Pennsylvania that did this.

Considering what he did at Wisconsin and how Illinois is now, it's surprising Bielema couldn't get something going at Arkansas. I get that the SEC was stacked at that time, but still, his teams never seemed to their footing. That Arkansas program for about 20 years now has been just kind of...

Shaping up to be a good finish in BYU Vs. Colorado.

Penn State Vs. Oregon was a good one. I just realized if the Nittany Lions had won, the "old" Big Ten" would have swept the "new" Big Ten today.

Results after this weekend and updated standings. NSIC Scores (Minnesota Teams Bold) No. 16 Minnesota Duluth defeated Minnesota State-Moorhead, 28-14 Jamestown beat Concordia-St. Paul, 33-22 Minot State outlasted Bemidji State, 28-21 No. 9 Augustana defeated Winona State, 34-26 Wayne State...

Fleck frustrates me sometimes for sure, and that first quarter start was rough, but I didn't think our bowl streak was quite in jeopardy. The reason why is Fleck's teams have never truly fallen apart in his time here. We had a glimpse of it in 2018. Started the year 3-4, ended the season 4-2...

Bounce back time. RTBSUMGG

The Star Tribune also has Minnesota winning, 24-23 The Gophers’ last game certainly didn’t inspire confidence. Uncharacteristic mistakes, eight penalties, special teams gaffes and a lack of offensive rhythm led to the loss at Cal in their first test against a Power Four opponent. Now comes...

Gopher Illustrated (247 Sports) has Minnesota winning, 30-27 The one thing I disagree with Vegas on is the game total. I don't like the matchup between Rutgers' receivers and Minnesota's corners. Additionally, while the Gopher offense has struggled to score points, Robb Smith's defense is the...

It's almost like it doesn't make a ton of sense for California teams to be in a predominantly Midwestern conference.

Eyy, we have the classic MMG combo!

Probably not what the dude would want to hear, but every time I see McMurphy's picture I think of Matt Millen.

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...
