Minnesota (57th in S&P+) is a lot like Indiana (55th) overall, but with a worse offense and a better defense.
They’re 3-2, but those two losses were both in-conference (to Iowa and Maryland), and both came by at least three scores.
But surprisingly, one of the Gophers’ wins came against Fresno State, which is 20th in the S&P+ rankings, and Minnesota’s best opponent to date (although Iowa is close, and may end up being the better team).
So how should we expect the Buckeyes to do against a team with a poor offense and a defense that excels at stopping the run?
