So, clearly, the rushing attack hasn't been great the last few games. While it seemed fine early in the year against the first couple overmatched opponents, it has certainly dropped off. Here's the total rushing stats and lead rusher from each game so far in the season. Vs. Buffalo. Team...

First predictions are out for bounce back week. Gophers on SI has Minnesota winning 38-17 P.J. Fleck preaches going 1-0 every week and that mantra will be tested against the Boilermakers. Minnesota can still turn around the momentum of the season, but it will have to start against Purdue. I...

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...

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...

Minnesota winning always makes a Saturday (or Thursday or Friday when that's the case) better. What's even more fun are those college football weekends where the Gophers win, and there are some great games happening around the country as well. Since it's the offseason and I'm missing college...

Justin Walley getting drafted by the Indianapolis Colts marks the 11th Gopher DB selected since 2010. Over the last 15 years, there's been a really impressive run of Minnesota defensive backs, with quite a few making a mark professionally. Marcus Sherels, 2007-2009 4 INTs, 106 Combined...
