Minnesota is not the Minnesota of 2019, and PSU is a more complete team than the PSU of 2019.

They have had good wins against USC and IL. Lost to Rutgers.

Gophers are not explosive. Only scored over 30 against Maryland and Rhode Island. Their running game is meh, their passing game is mostly quick short throws because they don't pass protect all that well. They've given up 23 sacks this year and PSU will probably add to this total -- especially now that Dennis-Sutton is back.

If PSU starts slow, it could be 4th quarter game like Wisconsin but if PSU is sharp offensively early, it could get away from Minnesota because they don't look explosive.

They are coming off the bye week so there's a little wild card there -- they will have some trick plays prepared. Otherwise it could look like a lot of the B1G games this year. PSU is stronger at the LOS and will wear them down.

Purdue Minnesota is a good football team. They've had some bad luck, but they can play with anybody. They are very well-coached and they play with a lot of fire and determination. They have a bunch of good kids over there. #45 #1 is a real good kid, tough, hard to tackle, the whole bit. #31 #45 on defense is a real hard-nosed player and a great athlete. We better be ready to play or we're going to get licked.

Yes, should be a win, but they did have a buy week so they’re healthier and I’ve been able to game plan for two weeks. Will not be easy.

I’ll be surprised if there is any let up on our side. If we can stay focused for Purdue, we should be ready.
