Maybe I’ve had my focus too much on basketball this past month, but I just don’t see any way in which Minnesota matches up well with Auburn. Auburn’s defensive line should create havoc for a Gopher ground game that struggled to generate anything on the ground this year. If Minnesota gets anything going offensively, it’ll have to be through the air. Receivers Tyler Johnson and Rashad Bateman each have 1,000 yards, but they account for about 70% of the passing game. They’re both bigger receivers at 6’2”, but I don’t think either of them have Waddle-wheels to separate from the Auburn secondary.
Staff Picks - #12 Auburn vs #18 Minnesota
