4. Minnesota over Penn State, Nov. 9
If P.J. Fleck is going to get the Gophers to row their way into the Big Ten West race, winning a game at home against Penn State is what will give them a leg up in the division race. This will be the biggest opportunity for the experienced Gophers to make some noise, and they'll be coming off a bye week (so will Penn State).

Go Gophers!!
 

Upset? I believe we will be favored by more than the obligatory home team "3" points by the time this one rolls around.

We're experienced... and we're the second youngest team in America. Or something like that.

+1 I think the real upset will be that the Gophers will be giving a TD against Penn State in November. Some of that is because I’m low on Penn State.

I also believe this game will be one of the most anticipated in modern program history by the time that bye week comes.
 

Their October is a real grind. Purdue, @Iowa, Michigan, @MSU...gonna be interesting to see where they are on the other side of that. They should handle Purdue but the next three probably have the best defenses in the conference if not some of the best in the country. That’ll be a good barometer to see where Clifford is in his development and whether their WRs have taken the big leap forward they needed to.

It’s not like they lack in talent as their defense should be loaded and they’ve got the high profile recruits on offense but they really seem to struggle to pull away since Moorhead and Josh Gattis left. With Stevens transferring out and Clifford not being much of a threat with his legs, a lot is going to ride on how far along their passing game has come. Hamler should be a bit of a Rondale Moore lite but does Shorter live up to the hype or do the other young receivers really step forward? Definitely reason for doubt. They’ll be an interesting program to follow.

Last time we played PSU they beat us. Until there is actual data to prove it will be different it is unreasonable to think it will be.

I'm sorry, but even the last time the two teams played, 80% of the current Gopher team wasn't there (neither was PJ Fleck), and I'm assuming 60%+ of PSU wasn't there. They are two completely different teams, the last result has nothing to do with what will happen this year.
