The Rutgers game stunk, just like Jersey, but Saturday is time for redemption! The 👃 is rested and ready💪

PSU is always overrated and with a week to heal and prepare, PJ & the boys will be chomping at the bit.

We play our best/complete game of the year and win by 10.
 


Would be fun to win. They are on cusp of a bye for the CFP. They will be on their game and it would take the effort of the century for us to win.
 

Would be nuts to see us take down a highly ranked PSU at home in November twice in 5 years
 

The fan in me will be cheering for the Maroon & Gold. The realist in me (with valuable points at stake in the weekly Pick’ems contest) has chosen the Lions of Nittany.
 



a win would be great -but this year, I just don't see it. the 2019 team had more big-play capability with Bateman and Johnson, plus the 3-headed backfield of Smith, Brooks and Mo. This year's team just seems as if it has to work a lot harder to score points, and the inconsistency of the OL and running game is a big concern.

the only way I see a Gopher win is if the defense does something over-the-top - multiple forced turnovers with at least one defensive TD or a special-teams TD.
 

I do. I know this team isn't on the same level of the 2019 squad on either side of the ball. However, I feel like this team has had its moments and given an opportunity like this, they can pull off something special. If the defense is as opportunistic as it can be and the offense is as efficient as it can be, they can pull it off.

Defense definitely has the talent to have that kind of game. Koi might be able to cook on ST in the return game.

The offense may not have the explosive play talent, but Brosmer has been cool in the clutch this season, especially late in the game. Also, not for nothing, Fleck's Gophers have been really good coming out of their bye weeks. Maybe will see Harbaugh dial up some innovative stuff in this game.
