quick "explainer" - MSU is easily the best team Gophers have faced. they will move the ball better and score more points. On defense, MSU is good against the run - not good against the pass.
so, this is the game where we find out two things - how will the Gophers' defense look against a quality opponent, and how does the Gophers' passing game look without CrAB.
my call........
