One of the early games on the first Saturday of College Football features Minnesota in the road Favorite role as they head to Syracuse. Minnesota won 7 games last year in a very tough Big 10 Conference after opening the season on a 7-1 SU run and return 18 of their 22 starters from that team, including 10 of 11 from an offensive unit that averaged 23 points per game. In fact, Minnesota was 4-1 against non-Conference teams in 2008, only losing to Kansas in their Bowl game. Willing to lay the points with a more experienced Gophers squad knowing they’ve won 6 of their last 7 road openers outright and take on a Syracuse team under first year Head Coach Doug Marrone. ‘Cuse was only 3-9 last year and Minnesota’s 8 returning defensive starters should handle Syracuse’s new offensive scheme that’s run by red shirted Freshmen QB Ryan Nassib, who takes control of an offensive unit that only averaged 18 points per game and is 2-8 ATS during their last ten in the home Dog role!
