Purdue game is house money
The Purdue game is house money. One thing the Gophers don't have is a true road win over a quality (read: NCAA caliber) opponent. It's doable, but will be difficult. Purdue will be ornery after its embarrassing performance in Columbus.
Need to beat the Hoosiers. In my opinion, with or without Verdell Jones, it's the worst team in the league. Doesn't mean I think it'll be easy in Bloomington, but like the game in Ann Arbor it's one the Gophers really need to get for their road/neutral record.
