Game 9:Minnesota Golden Gophers - Outlook
Away game at TCB Stadium
October 31: 7PM Night Game
Early Weather Forecast:
What do I expect to see this week… Easy.. it’s a win.. This is a Simple prediction...
Spartans will bounce back, Focused.. Spartans are prepared
Still Good... Preseason Prediction on Minny… http://spartymsu.com/2009/08/14/preview--spartans-2009-game-9-minnesota.aspx
Biggest news out of Minnesota: University of Minnesota star WR Eric Decker has a sprained left arch in his foot and probably needs surgery. He will miss the rest of the regular season..
A Trick or Treat surprise for Brewster and a Huge loss for the Gopher team....
But, Add insult to injury.. As Buck Bravo wrote over at the Daily Gopher, "Adam Weber's accuracy, decision-making, footwork, ability to recognize defensive schemes, and confidence have regressed." MarQueis Gray is now the QB.. I think their in trouble.. Hey Goldy… Time to hit the Panic Button….
Take a look at the Season to date, how theses two teams matchup.... Minnesota is not very good…..
Their Offensive Line isn’t giving Who ever the Gopher QB much time… The Gopher QB has been sacked 20 times, Spartans only 10 times (including 4 times against IOWA last week).
Limited running game + Limited passing game - Eric Decker = Another Minny loss
Brewster probably pulls a John L. this week on camera...

The weather is going to be dry.. so I predict the passing for MSU will continue.., I don’t see the Gophers inventing a running or passing game this week, let alone a defense.
There is nothing new, nothing to change my original opinion on the game.. Nothing to surprise me in the news except for Decker...
Spartans will shake off last weeks loss to Iowa, and kick Goldy’s ass on Halloween Night.. It’ll be a scary sight for the Gopher faithful…
Not even the Gopher Blogs expect them to win.... So be it.. thats defeatist and weird... So be it..
Prediction:
Spartans 35
Gophers 17
Sparty ON !!
