per The Gazette:
3. The Gophers have totaled 86 points against Iowa over the last two years, the most they’ve scored against the Hawkeyes in a two-year span since 1936-37 (87 points).
4. This will be the third Iowa game this season in which Beth Mowins has done play-by-play and Anthony Becht the color commentary for ESPN2. They worked the Arizona-UCLA game last Saturday.
5. Minnesota is the only Big Ten university with more students than seats in its football stadium. The school has an enrollment of 51,147 and TCF Bank Stadium seats 50,850.
6. The state of Minnesota bills itself as the Land of 10,000 Lakes. So it’s fitting that starting quarterback Mitch Leidner is from … Lakeville, Minn.
7. The Gophers also have players from Lakeland, Fla., and Lake Forest, Ill.
8. Leidner is one of just four current FBS players with at least 30 career passing touchdowns and 25 rushing TDs. He has 33 and 26.
