per Joe:

Gophers football coach Tracy Claeys thought his team delivered its most complete performance so far this season – on offense, defense and special teams – in last week’s 31-10 win at Maryland.

Now, Claeys will try to avoid any letups against a struggling Rutgers team Saturday for homecoming.

The Scarlet Knights (2-5, 0-3 Big Ten) come in riding a five-game losing streak and sit 108th in the latest USA Today Sagarin computer rankings. The Gophers, 49th in those same rankings, are 19-point favorites.

“It happens every week somewhere,” Claeys said of college football upsets. “Virginia Tech's an awfully good football team. [Last] week, they slipped up against Syracuse, you know? And so that's the challenge. That's what we get paid for, is to make sure they're ready to go on Saturday.”
