The Minnesota Golden Gophers (1-0) will host a Big Ten-SEC showdown at 2:30 p.m. CT on Saturday, Sep. 12, when they welcome the Mississippi State Bulldogs (1-0) to Huntington Bank Stadium.
This Week’s Thoughts:
GopherNation: There will be more scoring than defensive stops. Gophers win because they finish +2 in the turnover battle.
Andy York: This one is gonna be close, and it all comes down to whether or not the Gophers can contain the MSU quarterback. If they can, they win. If not..
Blake Ruane: See my opponent preview.
Ustreet: Think we’re going to get back half of last year MSU and not first half of year MSU.
zipsofakron: This one feels like it has broader implications for the season and it makes me very nervous. I think Minnesota’s experience on both sides of the ball and being at home gives them the edge. If they can keep Taylor in the pocket and largely off the field, they should win a close one.
mowe0018: It’ll be ugly, but there’ll be no cowbells to save the dregs of the SEC in Dinkytown.
