Wisconsin vs Minnesota - Your Breakdowns

[Livingat45north]

Wind hurts a passing attack more than anything else. Moisture has an effect on drops and ball security, but a slick field hurts DBs way more than WRs.

Does turf become slick in the rain? Grass certainly does, but is this really an issue with turf?

Last year we had Cashman and Julian Huff as a third linebacker option against run/ and in in coverage vs their run/TE release/4 WR look...SoriMarin has not been that guy. Not sure if Williamson is that guy.

St Juste has been good in coverage, trust him in one on one; needs to hold up in tackling the run. Coney needs to be strong in one on one pass coverage; like Coney against the WI run.

Last year we had Jacob Huff as a tackling safety paired with Howden. Winfield/Howden needs to outperform that unit.

Renner, Dew-Treadway, Schad, DeLatti, Coughlin need to play out of their heads...not sure I trust Teague, Devers, Mafe vs WI oline.

Blitz pickup is huge vs the WI defense. Leonhard dials it up creatively from everywhere. Have to hit the hot routes. RBs have to see it coming. I like the six olineman package with Kieft staying in.

we got three ints from Sconny last year and a fumble and a punt return and a missed FG...that's a lot of breaks,

That was a great game for the Huff brothers. My biggest concern is how the weather will impact our passing game. I'm sure they're practicing right now with wet balls dipped in ice buckets.

It's college football-- unpredictable, unless its Alabama vs Western Carolina or something. I think the Gophers have a legit chance.
