I might give a slight edge to Minnesota.
- Minnesota's QB (Max Brosmer) is pretty good. He put up big numbers with New Hampshire and has been solid this year with the Gophers. He's completing 69% of his passes, averaging 8.1 yards per attempt. Brosmer was good even in the ugly game against North Carolina. The offensive struggle was mainly due to the Gophers struggling to run the ball without their top RB.
- Minnesota's RB (Darius Taylor) is very good. Averaging 7.5 yards per carry this year. Averaged 5.8 last year as a freshman.
- Minnesota's defense looks pretty good again this year. They've pitched back-to-back shutouts after allowing only 19 points to North Carolina in the opener.
I see two evenly matched teams, and so I'd favor the home team.
