MINNESOTA vs. UB: Aug. 31 at TCF Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, Minn.
Coach: P.J. Fleck (first year)
2016 Record: 9-4
Expectations: Minnesota was picked fifth out of seven in the Big 10 West but should get to a bowl.
Players to watch: The Gophers' strength is up the middle on defense, led by DT Steven Richardson. RB Rodney Smith ranked fourth in the Big 10 in rushing (1,158 yards) last year.
Did You Know? Fleck used the mantra "Row the Boat" at Western Michigan. In exchange for the right to use "Row the Boat" at UM, Fleck will make a yearly endowment of $10,000 to WMU.
Last time vs. UB: The Gophers won the only meeting, 41-17, in 2002.
Outlook: It's the kind of non-elite, Power 5 game UB should play. The Gophers should dominate.
