[NU Sports] Minnesota Prediction

[Beamsley, Jeff]

Really hope you are correct in your prediction.

I'm concerned because of the points we gave up.  It could have been much
worse if Paulus had more experience and his receivers dropped fewer
passes.

Good that McManis is back.  We'll see if he is 100% and can cover
Decker.  Hopefully Decker is also less than 100%.  

There is rain in the forecast for the afternoon.  Maybe that will slow
Minny's passing game down.

I'd prefer to see a low scoring game where we run the ball, eat a lot of
clock, keep their offense on the sidelines, and keep our D fresh for a
strong pass rush.

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
