Game Preview
The No. 21 Minnesota Golden Gophers, who are currently undefeated, will face off against the Purdue Boilermakers in a clash of Big Ten rivals at Huntington Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Saturday. Minnesota has been a tough matchup for opposing teams, ranking top-25 in both total offense and total defense this year.
On Saturday, the Purdue Boilermakers will be looking to build on a 28-26 win over FAU last time out. Aidan O’Connell has thrown for 1,000 yards, 8 touchdowns and an interception on 64.7% passing but missed the FAU game due to injury while Dylan Downing leads Purdue with 204 rushing yards and a pair of TDs.
Devin Mockobee also has 137 rushing yards with 2 touchdowns and King Doerue has 3 TDs. Charlie Jones leads Purdue’s receivers with 41 grabs for 533 yards and 7 touchdowns while Payne Durham and TJ Sheffield each have 100+ receiving yards this season. On defense, Sanoussi Kane has a team-high 19 total tackles with 14 solo tackles while the Purdue defense as a whole has 6 sacks and 4 interceptions this season.
The Minnesota Golden Gophers will try to build on an impressive 34-7 win over Michigan State in their last game. Tanner Morgan threw for 886 yards, 7 touchdowns and an interception on 77.2% passing while Mohamed Ibrahim led Minnesota’s ground attack with 567 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns.
Minnesota’s been far more convincing so far, especially after such a dominant performance over Michigan State on the road and while Purdue got the win over FAU, it’s all well and good but if Aidan O’Connell can’t go here, that’s going to make life much tougher when this was already a tall task to begin with. The Gophers have just been too good defensively early on to just look past, so give me Minnesota here.
