Let's break down Minnesota, what do we know?

Minny didn't play Clemson or FSU or Georgia Tech and its triple option.

When they played a strong spread offense - IU - the Gophers gave up a lot of yardage and a lot of points.

IU was also down 35-13 early in the 3rd quarter with a pretty decent offense.

While Minnesota avoided OSU, they didn't get the two conference bottom feeders in Purdue and Illinois so the conference schedule was still fairly meaty this year.

Nice write up-Is Hageman more of a pass rusher, run stopper, both? What's the best Minnesota fan site?

Minnesota doesn't seem to know what a pass rush is.

Maybe you should actually pay attention to more than just the final score. NW put up a couple of scores in the fourth quarter to make the final score cosmetically look closer than the game actually was.

Kind of like our game against Minnesota last year. It felt like the most lopsided "7 point loss" I've ever watched. Our last drive, which it would be pretty safe to say was garbage time (down 14 with 3 minutes to go), represented 70% of our points and 25% of our total yards.

Then the intangibles. Its leaking out Minnesota is disappointed about facing us. When has that not EVER backfired?

Don't know where you're getting this from. Fans running their mouth on Twitter and message boards is much different from what the actual coaches and players think
