Gophers (2-1) at Northwestern (4-0)
11 a.m. today at Ryan Field, BTN, KFXN-FM 100.3
OFFENSE -- Gophers RB Shannon Brooks and RB Rodney Smith socked Ohio with a combined for 176 yards and two touchdowns in the 27-24 comeback win. QB Mitch Leidner threw for a career-high 264 yards, connecting with nine receivers. The same offensive line will start a third-consecutive game. Yet for all those positives and a season-high scoring output against Ohio, Minnesota remains last in the Big Ten at 19.2 points a game.... The No.
