With MVSU behind us, we can talk Bison/Gophers without being accused of looking too far ahead.

Gophers are 1-6, no wins in the Big Ten. This game will be on their home turf, the Metrodome, but will most certaintly be filled with much green and gold wearing Bison fans. Even with the poor record, Minnesota has been able to move the ball this year. 217 total points on offense. Defense just hasn't helped them any. The offense has been held to single digits just once, and that was Ohio State.

The Bison hold a 10 game winning streak with their last loss at the hands of the Gophers. Bison defense has had its moments, MVSU, UC Davis, and Cent Mich. Western Illinois was a good performance once the defense settled in. SHSU and Stephen F. Austin were a lot closer. Hanging onto the ball as been some what of a challenge for the Bison this year as well. Walker has already surpassed his interception total for all of last year, and fumbles have also been a problem. The secondary will be challenged. On the flip side, the offense has been very effective. Walker and his recievers have been in synch all year long. Roehl and Paschall have pounded through the opponent defensive lines.

It is officially Bison/Gopher football week. Get excited!!!
