Minnesota Preview

Well, it’s that time again, time for a game preview. If you’re looking for game data, I recommend checking out Bucknuts for a thorough overview. Here it is in a nutshell: Minnesota is much improved from last year, particularly on defense. Will it be enough against the Buckeyes? Nope.

Beanie will allegedly be back in the offense and will be a little rusty, but he’s still Beanie. Pryor will be the trigger man - look out! The offensive line will be reconstituted (and really, it would be tough to play much worse than they’ve been playing.) Let’s hope the receivers have their heads in the games this week. We saw a resurgence against Troy and it would be great to see that continue this week.

On the Minnesota offense vs. the Buckeye defense this should be interesting. Minny has rung up some big numbers this year and they’ve won their first 4 games. This should be a good test for them - they’ll score some points and I’ve been particularly impressed with their young quarterback Weber who is tough, tough, tough. Minny will put up a few points, but fewer than the Buckeyes will amass.

As of this writing, the Gophers are 18 point dogs, I expect OSU to cover this week.

Go Bucks!
