The Gophers enter this one at 3-0 in both simulation and real life and the scores have actually been fairly close for the most part with the predictions being 32-13, 39-9, and 25-24.
Here's how the teams stack up this week
Minn
Overall C+
Offense C
Defense C+
Syracuse
Overall C+
Offense B-
Defense C
Again very evenly matched teams.
Here's how it played out.
SU @ MN
13-24- The Gophers ground game wore down Cuse as they rushed for 209 yards behind 126 from Gillum with 2 Rush TD's. The Cuse offense stalled as Nassib went down (after starting 6-15) and the offense never got going.
14-24 Cuse led 14-0 at half but the Gophers stormed back due to 4 interceptions and 2 fumble recoveries. Offense looked poor but capitalized on TO's.
23-27 The Gophs pounded the rock all game and hung on to win at the end as 2 early 4th Q FGs by Wettstein proved to be the difference. The D again was stout tallying 2 Ints.
24-31 The Gophers did it all on the ground as they rushed for 209 yards and 3 scores from Kirkwood. The Gophs had to hang on however, as Cuse missed 2 FGs inside the redzone and were stopped on downs as time ran out.
21-0 Gophers looked stagnant as 3 TOs doomed them as the defense was given short fields. Looked really bad overall.
Results:
The Gophers took 4/5 hard fought contests to win and move on to 4-0 by a score of 21.2-19.
Let's go Gophers!!
