We are listed as 9 point favorites at home against Minnesota. They have a dynamite 1-2 punch at HB in SR Dan Lewis and SO Brendan Finks. I like our combo, but these guys are older and better. They are starting a true freshman at QB, Tony Jones. He was the #6 overall guy in his class. All in all, a very capable and balanced offense. They match up with us pretty well.
The defense is no slouch either. MLB Charley Gaiters is a tough man to run against. 3 year starter. Another guy who has started 36 games for the Golden Gophers is CB Gary Baniewicz. He has 40 passes defended and 11 picks for his career.
