per Paul:
Minnesota is gearing up for its toughest test of the season, but offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca is not about to drastically shake things up just for a new opponent.
Saturday’s game is shaping up to be a good one with a strong Gophers run game going against an elite Penn State rush defense. Minnesota enters the game while averaging over 200 rushing yards per game and 4.4 yards per carry. On the other side of the ball, the Nittany Lion defense is allowing just 68.9 yards per game with 2.0 yards per carry.
“Again, we’re going to do what we do and try to create a favorable matchups as you can,” explained Ciarrocca.
“But they’re really good. So without getting into the overall strategy of it, if you’re coming into this game expecting to see a different offense, you’re not. You’re going to be disappointed. You’re going to see what we do, and what you’ve seen over the course of my three years here with it, but they create some very big challenges for us…”
