Sid weighs in on Saturday's game.
]Gophers get a break
The Gophers got a good break this weekend when it comes to their next two opponents in Maryland, which they play Saturday, and Purdue, which they play the following week.
Maryland, which had defeated then-No. 23 Texas 51-41 and Towson 63-17, got killed by Central Florida 38-10 after its quarterback Kasim Hill left the game because of an injury in the first quarter. He was replaced by sophomore Max Bortenschlager, who finished 15-for-26 for 132 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.
Meanwhile Purdue, which pressed No. 8 Michigan in a 28-10 loss Saturday and has a bye this week to prepare for Minnesota, will be without its two best defenders in safety Jacob Thieneman and middle linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley for the first half of the Gophers game. Thieneman and Bentley were ejected against Michigan for targeting in the second half, which is why they’ll miss the first half.
That matchup is in West Lafayette, Ind., a place where the Gophers won in 2015 but hadn’t won there before that since 2008.
