per Megan:
The Gophers have taken the old cliché of taking it one game at a time right into their biggest game in decades, when No. 5 Penn State, also undefeated, comes to TCF Bank Stadium on Saturday. With the Gophers holding a two-game lead in the Big Ten West and riding a 10-game winning streak dating back to last season, some fans are already thinking ahead to the Big Ten Championship Game, or the Rose Bowl, or even the College Football Playoff semifinals.
But Penn State is just the first in a torrent of trials the Gophers will face in November. August through October featured a softer schedule and opponents with key injuries. That all changes, starting this week.
“Most people are waiting to see this Penn State game to find out [if the Gophers are the real deal],” said Glen Mason, former Gophers coach and current Big Ten Network analyst. “… I think most people would agree: This is the first real test.”
