Will be as tight as last year, but believe we get the KO return for a touchdown this time. Minny's special teams is just decimated, and Myrick made a game-saving tackle on the final KO return last weel or else they would have lost in heartbreaking fashion to Ohio.

Northwestern D shuts down Minny's offense (Duke-lite). Jackson has a field day running the ball.

NU 24, Minnesota 10. As good as Minnesota's defense is, I think NU breaks through this week and gets a TD on a turnover (or a short field created by a turnover).

NU 26-Minn 23
Clayton comes out firing first drive, we get bogged down for 3. Strong drive early 2Q puts us up 10-0 after Clayton throws a score. Then he screws up with a turnover. Minny scrapes a FG late in the half 10-3.

Minny takes first of 2H with scripted plays to tie at 10 and lots of momentum. Ugly Cats drive as Minny smothers the run. Trade punts. Then Cats D forces turnover in plus territory! We capitalize with a JJ TD 17-10. More punts. Minny long drive but held to 3. Cats bounce back with a run heavy drive and a couple key 3rd down conversions through the air. Mitchell gets the lead back to 7 by banging a short one through. Defense shuts the door with a pick. Victory formation.

I agree with all of this except I truly believe that Minny will miss that FG at the end of the first half and the final score is 20-10.

Somebody's got to do it:

Gophers 17 NU 13

My showing up at the game after having predicted a loss will insure our win.

NU 23-Minny 19. Great red zone defense for both teams. Minny punter annoys us. Running game wears them down and ten 4th q pts. give Cats lead to win after trailing most of the day.

Minnesota defense proves difficult for our offense and we look awful. Average yards per play between 2 and 3. our defense does the same to their offense. It is 9-6 with two minutes left at which point my blood pressure spikes and I pass out on the floor. As my wife is letting the EMTs in to take me away, I miss an NU punt return for a touchdown.

NU wins 13-9.

StPaulcat, you may be at a smart boy school, but let me tell you something. Size matters! My girls tell me that those that claim it doesn't...usually don't.
