[NU Sports] Minnesota Prediction

[Beamsley, Jeff]

I agree that we'll continue to see a focused group going about their business.  

The gophers are 26 places lower than us in FBS defense rankings.  We're both giving up about the same amount of passing yards, but we've got a lot more interceptions.  Our run defense is much better.  

We do a better job on returns.

We're fourth in the BT on Offense.  Minny is last.

So I think you are going to see a little more ground game from us, but otherwise hopefully another dominant showing a la Rice.

Another Spackler quote, "To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They're like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that's all she wrote."

Fellow Wildcat Faithful,
 
Tomorrow's game is a classic trap for the 'play up-play down' Cats I know and love. That being said, I have to believe that Fitz and the senior leaders know the stakes - win and you can expect a bowl bid. That should be enough motivation to keep the purple machine humming. Let the November to Remember continue.
 
In the immortal words of Jean Paul Sartre, 'Au revoir, gopher'.

Minnesota: 17
Northwestern: 28
 
Victory & Honor,
Jim
