Well unfortunately, that game was earlier in the season, before Minnesota had their second wind and Kill retired, which meant Minnesota had to magically elevate its play because of that.
My one concern, which has usually only been a problem on the road, is that Minnesota sells out for this game, which means the whooping and jumping around on the sidelines after every minute (minuut) play, and giving the extra shoves as plays end and after plays, and getting in our players faces and acting all excited like it's their first game ever, which they didn't do for just about any other game, won or lost and then going for broke in terms of risky play-calling with the trickery and fakes and onside kicks etc etc.
Minnesota hasn't really done this on the road, but since they've done it before against Iowa, I can't put it past them to try it again next weekend even though they've lost two straight to Minnesota after playing with that emotional high each weekend since Kill retired.
My hope is that this high they're on, conveniently drops in time for our game and their play is more similar to Northwestern's performance against us this year.
