The Minnesota Golden Gophers have had issues in two of their three biggest games of the season, but they do get after it defensively and do have a road win over Michigan, which counts for something despite the Wolverines issues.

Minnesota should be able to make this game ugly and slow paced, and should be able to hang around just enough.
