Message: [QUOTE="Sid_Apollo, post: 360004, member: 2563"] To correct something, SmilinBob, Minnesota's game versus USC in 2011 was at the Coliseum. The Gophers lost, 19-17. In 2010, USC played at TCF Bank Stadium, and the Trojans won, 32-21. It would be a mistake by Syracuse fans to compare this Minnesota team with those of the past couple years. Minnesota is playing with lots of confidence right now, and this is a young team with much more speed and athleticism than they had even last year. The coaching staff has done a great job of recruiting. The game will also probably be close to a sellout (50,805), as it's the first home night game for the Gophers and they have been marketing it as "Fill Our House." One thing that could help Syracuse is that Minnesota plays its big rivalry game at Iowa next week, so I suppose it's possible that some of the Gophers will be thinking ahead to that game. [/QUOTE]
