Minnesota: vs New Mexico State, vs Western Illinois (FCS), vs Colorado​

Through its first three quarters, the Golden Gophers were looking good. They led Ohio State 14-10 at half and running back Mo Ibrahim was balling with 163 yards and a touchdown. Then his injury derailed everything. After losing Ibrahim, Minny finished (9-4) but dropped one of its three out-of-conference games to Bowling Green.

As is the case with each of the four easiest Big Ten non-conference schedules, all three of Minnesota’s non-conference games are at home. Good thing for them is they don’t face one of the bottom teams in the MAC again. They do face New Mexico State who could be even worse. Then, they play Colorado again. Last year, the Golden Gophers took the contest in Boulder, 30-0. With a healthy Ibrahim, and Treyson Potts spelling him, Minny should have an easy three wins heading into Big Ten play.


Go Gophers!!
