[NU Sports] Minnesota Prediction

[Jim Leonard]

Fellow Wildcat Faithful,

Like I said earlier this week, I believe this is a must-win game for our bowl hopes. Assuming that the Cats have learned from last weeks mistakes, I think we are capable of beating the Gophers. Decker is one of the best receivers I've seen in my 16 seasons of Big Ten play, but McManis is back and that should help us considerably. 

On offense we should be alright moving the ball. I hope we see a little more of Persa running the option as a change of pace. Kafka has matured considerably this year and he should be able to get the ball in the end zone. 

Minnesota:           24
Northwestern:   31

Victory & Honor,
Jim
