Minnesota already has put together a historic season, winning its first eight games for the first time since 1941, but the Gophers are hoping to continue making records.
Unfortunately, the easier part of their schedule is in the rearview and the remaining four games are going to pose a significant challenge, starting Saturday when No. 4 Penn State visits Minnesota (noon ET on ABC).
Minnesota has handled its first eight opponents quite easily, averaging 35.75 points per game with an 18.38 average in point margin per game. However, Minnesota has not faced a defense ranked better than 49th in touchdowns allowed this season.
