per Joel:
5. Minnesota (Nov. 9)
Yes, Minnesota is on the upswing under P.J. Fleck, but this series has become lopsided in recent years.
The teams have met 14 times, and the Nittany Lions lead the series 9-5, and have taken five of the last six meetings, with Minnesota’s win coming in 2013, a 24-10 decision in the midst of the fallout from the Sandusky scandal.
Even with the uneven series totals, though, the games themselves have mostly remained competitive. Penn State needed overtime to top the Golden Gophers 29-26 in 2016, which was when the teams last met. The 2009 Penn State 20-0 win remains the only game decided by more than two scores since PSU romped to a 44-14 win in 2005.
Away from the field, there’s plenty enough to do in a city such as Minneapolis, with attractions like the Mall of America and plenty of museums and theatres.
Even still, this is a game Penn State should win by two or more scores, and traveling to Minneapolis will require flying or an extremely long drive.
Ticket prices range from $70 to $325 for the game.
