The Minnesota Golden Gophers (5-4) will look to avoid a three-game losing streak when they travel to State College to face the Penn State Nittany Lions (5-4) at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 14.
This Week’s Thoughts:
GopherNation: I’m getting very tired of watching impotent offense.
Andy York: In the Big Ten, you’ve got to be able to win the game in the trenches, and right now our offensive and defensive lines either don’t have enough depth or are too hurt and just can’t compete at the level we need. If we don’t see something
different, we’re not going to get a different result.
Blake Ruane: Apologies for the lack of an opponent preview this week! Rest assured, I’ll be back on schedule next week. Unfortunately, I expended all of my optimism predicting wins over Indiana and UCLA. There’s none left in the tank, I’m afraid. The Gophers have not won in State College since 2003. I don’t see their fortunes changing this weekend, unfortunately.
zipsofakron: It’s a down season in State College, so while it will be another “white out,” I wonder how truly enthusiastic the crowd will be. Regardless, this Gophers team has shown a general propensity to show up for tough games. Even in the UCLA meltdown, they were hanging with the No. 8 team for most of the game.
I think Minnesota rises to the occasion and net bowl eligibility.
mowe0018: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. P.J. Fleck and his offense belong in the asylum.
wildcat00: I think we’re now in the same-stuff-different-day part of the season, so you will expect little and get even less.
WhiteSpeedReceiver: I think we’re better than Iowa State and should show it here.
